I'm using Mobil 0w40 (502 spec) in my B5 Passat for 140K and plan to use the same oil for my GLI when the free maintenance ends.
Shell Rotella T6 is a nice, solid oil. relatively inexpensive also.
Turbo ppl love it due to the shearing factor. Blows M1 out of the water for down here in Florida. Oil consumption went down in my 2.0T when using it.
Currently using it on the 16V. So far it has quieted down the top end valve chatter. Also it has stopped the Oil Evaporation issue I had.
I ran it as a year round oil in my s2000 and a winter oil in my evo. Great stuff. Cheap too.
It's a great oil, use it
I use Rotella T6 on my 2.0T. it's fine.
I use Rotella 15W40 in my BMW. It is good stuff.
Thanks for updating, it is nice to see a progression like that. A full history through 25k miles and things look pretty good on the Rotella T6.
I run Mobil 1 5w30 and still change it every 5k. I could probably bump it up to 7500 or 10k but don't because I do it myself, and it isn't a huge cost or inconvenience to do it early.
