I’m at 80k miles and only used mobil 1 ESP x2 0w-20, don’t wanna mess around with any other viscosity, I’m not smarter than VW engineers ????♂️
I switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic made from natural gas. Oil consumption is 1/2qt in 5K.
Mobil 1 is my go-to... mostly because the level gauge on the side of the container is easier to read than any other brand. I've been using it in my 2018 since new and have never had an issue. Odometer is currently at 260,000.
I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul depending on if I choose to order ahead of time or just do it when I feel like.
Pennzoil Platinum Ultra is also commonly used/recommended instead of the Motul and is cheaper.
I always use Penzoil Ultra Platinum and have never had an issue.
I’ve switched to Pennzoil and I’ve noticed I went from burning about ~1 quart between 5k mile changes to barely burning anything. It seems like my motor is a little happier with it based on it not making such a racket but that might just be confirmation bias
I have a 2020 Corolla se with the 2.0l and I use 0w-16 from Mobil 1 which makes Toyotas oil for them.
She burns ~ 1 Quart/5000 Miles.
DO NOT use Mobil1 0W40 in the 2.5. I tried it and well before the oil change time, the engine sounded like a diesel with all sorts of valve train rattle.
