Engine oil Motorex or Total
I have been using the oil recommended by the owners manual (the Dutch one at least) for a couple of years now, no issues at all. I use Total Quartz 9000 5W-40.
I like Liqui Moly in my 2011 Jetta tdi but been really impressed with how smooth my car is running on Total quartz and been using that the last few changes. Total Quartz = smooth
Hey, op! I have the exact same car and I created [a similar topic a few weeks ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/peugeot/comments/xuw2qq/peugeot_207cc_questions_for_car_dummies/ir03z3m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app/ir03z3m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) and decided to purchase [this one](https://www.endado.pt/p/quartzo-total-ineo-ecs-5w30-5l-total-217263) for my car, been using it for a few weeks and so far so good. :)
My old 308 (2010), had the same engine; Total Quartz INEO ECS 5w/30
Well I decided to try Motorex on my F800 GS, bought the 4T Top Speed full synthetic, in 15W50, boy I cant help it but recommend this oil, the gearbox is so smooth and silky.
Total quartz is good
Ran it for a few years in my 02 ALH with no issues.. supplied by my local VW certified (but not VW themselves) mechanics shop.
I use motorex 30W in the air (or coil) side. The motorex is great stuff
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
Honestly Motorex is a good oil, but it is extremely expensive for what you get. I specialize in performing Used Oil Analysis (Worked for Reliability departments for mining outfits) and it’s just a Ho Hum oil.
