I just go to Walmart and buy the big jug of mobile 1 high mileage engine oil and the most expensive oil filter I can find and just do the oil change in my driveway.
I use the Mobil 1 just like the sticker Porsche put on your car…
I've tried various combinations that include the mix of m1 5-40 with 5-50 but have now for many years kept it simpler w/ Mobil 1 5-50 every five thousand miles. It purrs as one would expect from a 195,000 mile 996 Turbo.
My Saab (2003 9-5 Arc Wagon 3.0 turbo) has a sticker that says Mobil 1
To be honest, the mobil 1 ESP 0w-20 is a fantastic oil and meets those specs and is at walmart for $8/qt
My oil report on 0w30 mobil1 esp looked good. I'll keep using it. Mix of track and daily duty.
Seeing good results, lower heating, smoother functioning with Mobil Super Moto 15W-50 Synthetic Technology Engine Oil.
I was riding in the Himalayas where low-gear, high-acceleration could not be avoided and decided to try this. Noticed better performance, lower heating and decisively moved away from RE's semi-synthetic.
I wouldn't limit yourself to VW brand oil only if another "approved" oil is cheaper. VW has a document listing which oils meet their spec. I use the MOBIL 1 Esp x2 (it's on the list) since the 5 quart bottles are usually cheap from Walmart.com.
It depends on what ur using the car for. I’ve used super tech, Mobil 1, and pennzoil and haven’t found a single difference in feeling, temperatures, or oil consumption.
This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
