I use the Mobil 1 just like the sticker Porsche put on your car…
I've tried various combinations that include the mix of m1 5-40 with 5-50 but have now for many years kept it simpler w/ Mobil 1 5-50 every five thousand miles. It purrs as one would expect from a 195,000 mile 996 Turbo.
My Saab (2003 9-5 Arc Wagon 3.0 turbo) has a sticker that says Mobil 1
To be honest, the mobil 1 ESP 0w-20 is a fantastic oil and meets those specs and is at walmart for $8/qt
My oil report on 0w30 mobil1 esp looked good. I'll keep using it. Mix of track and daily duty.
Seeing good results, lower heating, smoother functioning with Mobil Super Moto 15W-50 Synthetic Technology Engine Oil.
I was riding in the Himalayas where low-gear, high-acceleration could not be avoided and decided to try this. Noticed better performance, lower heating and decisively moved away from RE's semi-synthetic.
I wouldn't limit yourself to VW brand oil only if another "approved" oil is cheaper. VW has a document listing which oils meet their spec. I use the MOBIL 1 Esp x2 (it's on the list) since the 5 quart bottles are usually cheap from Walmart.com.
I’ve ran mobil1 5w30 for a few years now with oem filter on my 1990
I wouldn't consider M1 4T to be the highest quality oil. It's a pretty standard Group III/IV synth blend with a motorcycle on the label.
You should stop using Mobil 1 oil period. Their oil is dog shit when it comes to wear protection, cold flow, burn point, and more.
