There's literally only one oil that is certified for use in our cars: Mobil 1 Supercar. Nothing else has the proper Dexos R certification.
Been using mobile 1 5w-40 Syn Euro. Fixed my vanos code.
I use 0w-40 euro blend Mobil 1 in the winter and royal purple 5w-30 in the summer and usually try to get an k&n filter or something of similar quality it’s not always about the name but its definitely worth some research
For my Z with 210k miles i switched to the one your holding and it burns less. I get an extra 150 to 200 extra miles compared to mobile 1.
I always use full synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30
There was a dude on YouTube that did a test. Mobil 1 performed the best, followed very closely by Amazon basics
Man, just changed out the oil in my 2000 Crown Victoria Police interceptor yesterday with this. I HAVE USED THIS VERY OIL for close to 20 years. My shit runs as good as it has since I first drove it out of the Orange count sheriff's dept, Parole dept. auction lot. Never use anything else.
When it comes to brands most good brands work fine like Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline and so on. All these oils even including the cheaper amazon brand oils have been tested by the American petroleum institute and they have a stamp on every bottle.
I have an 07 Rabbit with the same 2.5L. I tried Mobil 0W40 one winter. It was OK for about the first 6000 KM, then the engine began to sound like a diesel.
I ran M-1 15w50 for 10k miles or so, and my car ran 10 degrees hotter on average than with any other oil I've used. Throttle response also felt sluggish.
