Just finished my break in on Fridays, did a oil change on Sunday with w5-20 penzoil platinum. But I honestly prefer you go with anything besides 0w-20, it’s good and the OEM spec but everyone has seen issues with that oil and it can’t hold well in hot temps which is what this car really is meant to be at hot temps
As long as the oil is VW 502 00 spec, it’s fine to use. I always go with either Mobil 0W-40 or 5W-40.
Mobil 1 Advanced in everything, with OEM filters... Use it in my Tucson, Mustang, Corvette, and Dodge pickup... Really, any quality full synthetic oil is fine.
Been using Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic since I rolled it off the lot. Zero issues. I do my own changes every 3-5k. I did swap out to the FL400s filter to make it an even 6qts.
I went back and forth between Mobile 1 and Amazon full synth for 140k miles without issue. Just change the oil every 5000-7000 miles
I use Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5W-30 and the FL400S or an equivalent filter.
Mobil 1, Valvoline, or Motorcraft. Ive used them all and have no complaints so far, usually i use Mobil 1 since i can find the 6 qt box for a decent price at Costco.
I personally use Mobil 1. They all do basically the same thing if you're changing it often enough. I change mine between 3-5k miles typically.
I am still on 5w30 Mobil 1...
I got an oil change with Pennzoil 5W-40 Euro, which I was not too fond of, because the light weight of the oil made my lifter noise sound much more pronounced.
