I did an oil change last week at 5800 miles and used Mobil1 0W40 VW spec .
I've been hearing lots of good stuff about Rotella t-6 i just changed mine to that the first time this month for the winter
Truth, Its a much debated topic. Local testing has shown M1 0W40 to hold up the best.
I use 502/505 Mobil-1 0W-40 in my 2012 VW 2.0T, and my 2010 Audi 3.0T. I change every 3000 miles.
Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 has a more stout additive package and has lower sulphated ash which means less intake valve buildup
So this morning I went n got some Rotella T6 5w40. filled her up and drove it pretty far. The light didnt come back on. I guess all I needed was an oil change? Sounds a lot quieter in idle too, no ticking besides the fuel injectors.
Use good oil, Liqui-Moly 5W-40, or Mobil 1 0W-40 "European Car Formula".
I use extended performance full synthetic - mobil 1. No problems so far.
I go back and forth between white jug rotella in the summer and t6 in the winter. It's cheap, and I've never had any issues.
Currently running mobil 1 MXT4 in my 2002 vstrom 1000. Holy fuck is it overpriced, but it's cheap insurance. Zero oil consumption despite cruising the highways at 140-150 Kph, @6000rpm.
