My guy uses Motul 5w-30 in my CC.
Mobil 1 0W-40 can be had at your local walmart. It's quite a bit cheaper at walmart than the auto parts store.
technically you can use Mobil 1 Euro Formula 0w40 in the GTI and the Phaeton because it has the VW502.00 certification.
I was able to document that the oil was VW 502 certified Mobil 1 0W-40.
I do my changes @10k with UOA. 2nd change was with 4 laps on the Nurburgring and about 1500 miles @125 MPH. At 10k The report came back that everything was fine and the oil still had life in it. With my K04 it came back fine also. I drive the piss out of my car.
On my MKV GTI when I switched to a thinner Motul from a thicker Pentosin I noticed a good bump in power.
Good quality synth 5w40 alllll dayyy eryyy dayyy. Flip open your owner's manual, 5w40 is the recommended oil. 30 weight thins out too much during extended drive periods or in high temp areas. FWIW the previous owner of my Golf sold it because it was an "oil burner" he was using gas station brand dino 5w30 :screwy: I switched to Motul and then Gulf 5w40, and drove it for 55k+ kms, had to add about 1L between my 10K OCIs.
Yeap, running it in my 2.0 8v rright now. Will switch to M1 10w-30 or 10w-40 this summer, back to T6 in winter. Got 206K miles on the car.
Well, today is the day. My TT get's its first oil change. Motul X-Clean is going in!
Just stick with Mobil 1 0w-40. It's VW-approved and covers just about all operating conditions. There's a reason it's factory-fill on Porsches and Mercedes AMG vehicles
