I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.
I used to run 0W40 in Lexus IS250 (4GR-FSE engine) with great results, towards the end of it's life (maybe... the car was stolen at around 200k miles, so not sure when it actually died) it was burning little bit of oil when 5W30 was used. However, I have noticed that when I changed for 0W40, it has not burn any oil at all and oil was noticeably cleaner.
As long as the oil is VW 502 00 spec, it’s fine to use. I always go with either Mobil 0W-40 or 5W-40.
Mobil 1 Advanced in everything, with OEM filters... Use it in my Tucson, Mustang, Corvette, and Dodge pickup... Really, any quality full synthetic oil is fine.
Been using Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic since I rolled it off the lot. Zero issues. I do my own changes every 3-5k. I did swap out to the FL400s filter to make it an even 6qts.
I went back and forth between Mobile 1 and Amazon full synth for 140k miles without issue. Just change the oil every 5000-7000 miles
Mobil 1, Valvoline, or Motorcraft. Ive used them all and have no complaints so far, usually i use Mobil 1 since i can find the 6 qt box for a decent price at Costco.
I personally use Mobil 1. They all do basically the same thing if you're changing it often enough. I change mine between 3-5k miles typically.
It's a ok. Ran mobile one in my s50 sometimes rotella t6
my valvetrain was always noisier when I used to run Mo1 0w40.
