If I was spending my own money I would buy Mobil 1.
I've always put Mobil1 0-W40 European car oil in my 2015 jetta since the day I bought it brand new but did notice they came out with a new 0-W30 oil but not sure if that's for the new jettas or not.
I do all my own work and the oil changes are either 10k miles or yearly, usually yearly. I'm not too concerned about the exact date but basically every spring the cars get an oil change, air filter and cabin air filter.
Not going to lie. I use Walmart auto for my oil changes. If you synthetic premium you can pick your own oil, I use Mobil one.
Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil 1 filter. I did cams recently on my GT and at 150k, the top end looks almost new.
I’ve been using Mobil1 0w-30 in it for over 20 years. My Blackstone Labs reports still come back clean with no water, fuel or antifreeze found in the oil.
What brand oil are you using? I noticed a decrease in consumption with Mobil 1 and stuck with it.
Mobil one..yes they make ac delco oil, but the additive package is a little better with m1 vs Delco.
I typically use whatever is cheapest and proven oils for all my cars. I have an '08 2.5 and have been using T6 5w40, they typically run coupons for them for $20 or 25.00 for the gallon jug. No, it doesn't get VW's official stamp of approval but it seems to do pretty well in this application and seems quite popular amongst various other makes especially Euro cars that require a 40wt oil. Quite honestly, I'm pretty sure you can run a quality 5W30 in this motor, it is not anything special. I've run M1 0W-40 and although it has the VW spec labeled on it, my car always had a faint tick coming from the valve cover area (lifter?) when warm. It never did this with the T6 oil in it.
I use to use Mobil 1 Full Syth. and it was a mistake the \"knocking.pinging\" noise will also reduce using the right grade oil. Learn from my past experiences.
