I have apr stg2 and i change my oil every 5k with mobil1 5w30 and it never burns a drop!
mobil 1 5-40 diesel truck blend has it, just referenced my blackstone labs report after 6k miles was still over 1000
Over 50k big turbo miles on Mobil 1 10w 30 full synthetic. I love the oil, try some 10w 30 :thumbup:
here in hawaii i'm running 15-50 with 8k or so intervals. oil test has com eup clean. motul oil as of last oil change, pentosin before that. when i ship my car, i will be swtiching to a lighter weight as i will actually see outside temps below 70* motul FTW:beer: i say run 10-40 motul, this one.. http://www.sears.com/motul-839451-6100-synergie-10w-40-technosynthese/p-SPM7359011402P
I'm not really too sure about the weights, but I highly recommend using specially formulated euro blend oil. I believe that is 0W-40. I personally only use mobil 1 euro blend. It is expensive but your engine is not the place to get cheap.
I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!
I have a 2010 VW Jetta 2.5 with 48,000 miles todate. The dealer used Castrol and on the last change Valvoline. Now I'm doing my own oil changes etc. Currently using Mobil 0w-40. Since I've had the car the oil level drops so little on 10,000 changes that I can't measure it. The last oil change included 4,700 miles of hot Interstate driving. After it was changed I had the oil tested and basicly it had a lot of life left. Looks like the 2.5 is very easy on oils.
I have used royal purple once and didnt really are for it... But now i have been using motul 8100 x-cess 5w40 on my 06 2.5l rabbit for the past 5 oil changes and it works amazing... I'm going on 6500 miles right now and it still has a yellowish tint to it, like clean oil! I do some autocross, some quarter miles, and I drive a little aggressive... This oil is awesome an I would definitely recommend it...
When we tested Mobil 1 on the racecars on the dyno Mobil 1 freed up 6-9 hp over other oils using the same Ford viscosity - 0w/20W.
i switched from castrol syntec 5w40 to mobil 1 0w40 when i went turbo and i noticed faster spool up and 9 degrees colder oil temps during hard drivin.....
