Engine oil Mobil or ZIC
Now the easiest one to find that meets my manual requirements is the Mobil 1 euro formula that’s the cool green color. The back of the bottle specifically states it meets VW specs.
If I was spending my own money I would buy Mobil 1.
I've always put Mobil1 0-W40 European car oil in my 2015 jetta since the day I bought it brand new but did notice they came out with a new 0-W30 oil but not sure if that's for the new jettas or not.
I do all my own work and the oil changes are either 10k miles or yearly, usually yearly. I'm not too concerned about the exact date but basically every spring the cars get an oil change, air filter and cabin air filter.
Not going to lie. I use Walmart auto for my oil changes. If you synthetic premium you can pick your own oil, I use Mobil one.
Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil 1 filter. I did cams recently on my GT and at 150k, the top end looks almost new.
I’ve been using Mobil1 0w-30 in it for over 20 years. My Blackstone Labs reports still come back clean with no water, fuel or antifreeze found in the oil.
What brand oil are you using? I noticed a decrease in consumption with Mobil 1 and stuck with it.
I have ran mobil 1 0w-40 for a long time without issue but am thinking of switching to thicker this change as it's starting to leak out one of the oil seals into compressor housing.
i got a little valve clatter when i went to 0w40 on my next oil change i'll be using 5w40 (synthetic)
