I change mine about every 4500 miles or so and I use Mobil 1 oil. Manufacturers love to point out how little it costs to maintain their vehicles but changing your oil every 10k will ensure you’ll be replacing your vehicle sooner than later and that benefits the dealership.
I'm using Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40.
Stopped buying the dealer oil and switched to Mobil one esp x2, stopped asking for more oil between 5k changes.
I use pennzoil euro lx. Seems to work good and doesn’t burn any so
I’m from saudi and the owner’s manual recommends 0w20 or 5w30, never mentioned 0w16 despite that the engine is the same (A25A-FKS). Im using mobil 5w30 btw
I use 5w30 ESP Mobil 1, has the 507 grade spec and gets on sale at Canadian tire pretty frequently
I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.
I used to run 0W40 in Lexus IS250 (4GR-FSE engine) with great results, towards the end of it's life (maybe... the car was stolen at around 200k miles, so not sure when it actually died) it was burning little bit of oil when 5W30 was used. However, I have noticed that when I changed for 0W40, it has not burn any oil at all and oil was noticeably cleaner.
about 4 weeks ago i did a 10w 30 mobil 1 synthetic oil change in my obd1 vr6 mk2. i find with this i can hear more of what is going on under the hood and may b i'm getting parranoid over normal noises that are just amplified b/c of the intake everything coming from the motor seems louder. lifters i'm assuming esspecially when motor is cold. but oddly there is also a weird \"diesel\" sound...pinging?...around 3200 rpm.. Nothing before or after once motor is warm i notice it as well during coasting deceleration.
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.
