Engine oil Mobil or RAVENOL
Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30
Owner's Manual recommends 5W40; but says that any oil that meets the VW 502.00 specification is fine. I've used that Mobil1 European Car Formula 0W40 since our two 2009 Mk5's (Jetta and GLI) were new, with no problems. Specifically zero oil use between changes.
mobile super 3000 w0-30 is what i would run if i were you
I use Mobil 1 in my RT and it's been good.
Mobil 1 0W20 every 2.5k miles.
I've had my '88 GLI 16V for over 20 years and always used mobil 1 15W50 without issues.
Mobil 1 since day one (first oil change). 5w-30 (as per vehicle spec). 316k+ original owner miles. Virtually no carbon or varnish.
I will say after switching to mobil1 in one of my rigs it cleaned out a hell of a lot of shitty carbon deposits and crap in the valvetrain. Looked nearly new when I pulled the valve cover at 210 thousand miles.
I use Mobil 1 because it's the only oil that prevents VVt noise in my NB Miata
Yes, you can certainly use 506.01 in your TDI and it's used in many TDIs around the world. However, based upon some of the UOAs offered up, I'd suggest moving to 507.00. The 506.01 has shown relatively high wear metals.
