Mobil 1 extended oil. Full synthetic 5W30 changed every 12,000km. Mine burns about 1 litre (pint) per every 1,500-2,000km. So I top up a few times between full on oil changes
I use Mobil 1 full synthetic because I also use it for my car, and if you send you oil off to a lab after you change it, even at 3000 miles the oil was still in great shape.
Ran Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy for a while and it was fine, but lately I've switched over to the Toyota branded. It's more expensive, but I only change my oil once a year because I don't drive it much, and I like the higher molybdenum content in the Toyota stuff.
My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil
The OE VW oil is Mobil 1 0W-20 ESP X2 with a zirconium marker and blue dye added for VW 508/509 requirements. The ESP X2 0W-20 is the only M1 product that meets the higher HTHS spec needed for VW 508/509. Its also API SP and has balanced chemistry for LSPI issues in other makes.
Mobil 1 5w-50 for the last few years.
I always used Mobil1 High Milage oil in my old truck before I sold it.
I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.
I use this on my 2003 Passat 1.8T probably every 2-3 oil changes. Motor has 269,000 miles and burns a smidgen of oil on startup. The Lucas seems to help a bit.
I have an 07 Rabbit with the same 2.5L. I tried Mobil 0W40 one winter. It was OK for about the first 6000 KM, then the engine began to sound like a diesel.
