Engine oil Mobil or OEM Volkswagen
Mobil 1 ESP is not bad oil but the testing I've seen indicates Pennzoil to be better.
I use Mobil1 5w40. It is BMW LL1 certified and goes on sale in the spring at Canadian Tire. Less than 100$ for full oil change.
I have been using Mobile 1 in my 2002 X5 3.0 and my 2001 Z3 2.5i forever. Both vehicles have about 185,000 miles each with no major repairs.
My sprinter is deleted so I'm running 0w40 European car formula.
Mobil One 0w-40 is a great oil for these cars
I've used 7100 Motul forever... and I switched to Mobile 1 and im happy with my choice. Both 10w 40.
Castrol. Valvoline. Mobil1. Supertec. Kirkland Signature. All oils my 2016 CX-9 has had. Now has near 100k miles and runs as nice as the day I bought it. Just change the oil and filter every 5k miles and use full synthetic.
Mobil1…been running it for a decade ap1 supercharged S2K…flawless
My wife drove her 2008 Passat 2 miles per day for six years. As you can imagine, during these very short drives in winter, the oil became diluted - this was born from sever UOAs. So, I changed the oil every 1,500 miles and the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Over-kill perhaps but based upon my personal expectations, worth the time and money. We used Mobil 1 0W40....which sheared to a 0W30 fairly quickly and stabilized.
my valvetrain was always noisier when I used to run Mo1 0w40.
