The oil spec for the 1.8L engine in my 2019 Golf Sportwagen S 4motion is 502.00 (5W40). After my last oil change at the dealer I questioned whether they used the correct oil because the service ticket was written up wrong. The dealer supplied these photos to show how the different grades of oil are actually different colors. The oil on my dipstick was caramel colored, so I knew it was the correct grade for my car after all.
Pros: correct grade for car
Cons: service ticket was wrong
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
That PN is listed as genuine Volkswagen oil for your vehicle. You’re all good!

I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.
Pros: still running fine
Cons: used a little oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 153000 km
I was having some issues with shuddering when the engine warmed up. Put in Motorcraft 5w20 synth blend in my 2015 XLT 5.0 and it’s been running like a champ
Pros: running like a champ
Cons: engine shuddering
36k miles and still not burning a drop between 10k OCI's. I use VW 0W-20 Full Syn 508/509 spec each and every time, until mobil1 releases a Full Syn clone. Noticed a "slight" increase in MPG's with the newer oil.
Pros: no oil consumption, increased MPG
Mileage: 16093 km
Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.
Pros: thin oil, VW special
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.
Pros: oil consumption far less
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 207000 km
Once the oil temp reads the temp number, you're all set to do what you please.

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "
Pros: TBN still okay
Cons: aluminum and copper high
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 9979 km
