Engine oil Mobil or LIQUI MOLY
Every 5,000-6,500 km oil change using **VW.508** oil (NO 10,000 km oil changes)... Oil like Liqui Moly **Top Tec 6200 0W-20**
I have a plug for Liquimoly so I run that year round.
I'm running 0w30 from liquid molly and im tuned on e85. I live in Boston so cold 20f mornings ???? I have the red sport with the oil cooler and the f$cking oil just won't get hot enough and stays at 165 to 170 and good enough to do pulls but not up to temp so 0w30 protects more in cold starts and it's not hot enough to cook so perfect. I do switch to 5w30 in summer.
Mobil 1 0W-20 wix filter 7500mile intervals. Due for 30k change right now. Honestly the oil I\u2019ve drained out so far still looks really good but I buy my Mobil at Costco so still relatively cheap to change.
I’ve been feeding mine Mobil1 or Castrol GTX, whichever one is cheaper.
Walmart sells Mobil 1 for so cheap that it doesn’t seem necessary to buy Walmart oil but the quality is fine.
I use **Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20** or **Mobil 1 Hybrid 0W-20**, whichever is available. I use a **WIX 51348XP** filter, available locally or at RockAuto online. Do not buy filters on Amazon - there are a lot of counterfeits.
I still use the VW spec Liqui Moly I used before the delete. Sure it's not as needed for the DPF, but low ashing is still better for the turbo, and it's still a high quality oil i know will be good at least through the 10k recommended interval.
My GL550 has about 106k miles on it, just did an oil change with LiquiMoly 0w-40 and 2 bottles of LiquiMoly ceratec. Drove it kind of hard for a minute or so. Then noticed when I got back it had this noise.
I sent a few samples from my Ecoboost 3.0 to Blackstone Laboratories at 5k miles each. Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum, both used Fram ultra synthetic filters.Oil was pretty much cashed out. I couldn't imagine going any further than 5k.
