Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.
All I know is my dealer used 5W30 Castrol throughout my free factory serviceand I burned oil like crazy, since I have switched to Motul VW specific 5W-40 I have yet to burn anything noticeable.
found some FORD Super Duty Diesel oil 15w40.....seems to work pretty well! ford aka motorcraft
I am now testing Motul x-cess which should be even better
here in hawaii i'm running 15-50 with 8k or so intervals. oil test has com eup clean. motul oil as of last oil change, pentosin before that. when i ship my car, i will be swtiching to a lighter weight as i will actually see outside temps below 70* motul FTW:beer: i say run 10-40 motul, this one.. http://www.sears.com/motul-839451-6100-synergie-10w-40-technosynthese/p-SPM7359011402P
I have used royal purple once and didnt really are for it... But now i have been using motul 8100 x-cess 5w40 on my 06 2.5l rabbit for the past 5 oil changes and it works amazing... I'm going on 6500 miles right now and it still has a yellowish tint to it, like clean oil! I do some autocross, some quarter miles, and I drive a little aggressive... This oil is awesome an I would definitely recommend it...
My guy uses Motul 5w-30 in my CC.
On my MKV GTI when I switched to a thinner Motul from a thicker Pentosin I noticed a good bump in power.
Good quality synth 5w40 alllll dayyy eryyy dayyy. Flip open your owner's manual, 5w40 is the recommended oil. 30 weight thins out too much during extended drive periods or in high temp areas. FWIW the previous owner of my Golf sold it because it was an "oil burner" he was using gas station brand dino 5w30 :screwy: I switched to Motul and then Gulf 5w40, and drove it for 55k+ kms, had to add about 1L between my 10K OCIs.
ive always used motorcraft diesel oil. 10w30 in the winter and 15w40 in the summer.
