This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.
I use Motul 8100 EcoLite in mine. Paired with the appropriate Motul fluids in the trans and diff, and RBF660 in the brake lines.
Motul 5W-30.
I'm running 10w60 MOTUL 7100, I sit on the revs though, always Tach out!
I recommend Motul and I advise tou to never use RS8, it's a rebarded Xhina brand.
I was at LordCo recently and one of the workers was going off while i was looking at Motul.
Motul 8100 xcess for high mileage. I've had a few subies thrive on this stuff.
I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.
I’m switching from Motul to it since Motul is hard to come by where I am, and I hate buying oil online.
My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.
