Engine oil Mobil or RED LINE
I always used redline 5w50 on my S65 runs very well and redline has a great reputation of quality oil especially for its high performance cars. Takes less time to warm up too in low temperature climates.
I used Mobil1 for a decade and around 50k with no issues.
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've run Redline in my '01 Golf & my '10 Touareg TDI's for Hundreds of thousands of miles. No worries!
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 have a 2020 Corolla se with the 2.0l and I use 0w-16 from Mobil 1 which makes Toyotas oil for them.
2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 255,000 miles Redline 5w30 full synthetic Wix Filter Lubegard Biotech with each oil change....... 5,000 mile intervals. Had a hemi tick when i purchased used in 2007 {off lease} with 32,000 miles on it. The Redline and lubegard have a hefty amount of moly in them which helps keep the insides slick and hemi tick at bay.
Mobil 1 15w-50, Viton o-ring from any automotive or industrial supply house, Wix or NAPA(mfd by Wix) filter.
Throughout the summer I was averaging a quart every 750-1000 miles, still using Mobil1 15w50 & Viscoplus. This winter it dropped back down to 1 quart every 500 miles, but as the weather has warmed up, my consumption seems to have decreased again. I think that had something to do with the oil, which was admittedly way too thick for cold weather. I would let the car warm up a couple minutes before driving because that oil is syrup in cold weather.
I have been running Mobil 1 0w-40 since new with over 50k miles on different Big turbo(80k total miles) setups and always replacing seals and gaskets due to oil leaks(its some really thin oil).
