I'm going on 5 years 1 month using M1 0-40...I did try Castrol 5-50 once just to try it out, and the engine behaved itself...both synthetics and about $6-7/qt...
I'm sticking with Mobil 1 0w40; it's always been an excellent engine oil for my cars.
my gti loves mobil 1 10w-30. beenn using it for 170k with no issues
I run mobil 1 synthetic 0w40 all year round, with no problems. Best of both worlds
The car itself is outstanding for the price, excellent quality build in my opinion. However the FSI engine has given a few of us some headaches. Mine performs great, except for burning excessive oil.
I've moved up to Mobil 1 5W-50 from Syntec 5W-40. So far I really like it. No noise on startup at all with it. I also use the monster oil filter.
I run Mobil-1 0-40 in the winter to 4 or 5k miles, in the hard driving months I use their 5-40, and change it once or twice a month.
I use Mobil 1 0W40, and have been going 4000 miles between oil changes.
just use Mobil1 0w40 or Castrol 5w40...both can be found at autozone and are 502 approved
Now i can notice a smoother iddle and the car seems to pull more even in the RPM. So far so good i'll trust MObil 1 till my next oil change but always be aware of what those dealership are doing seems like a big ripp off to me !!!
