Reviews
eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.
Pros: 5w30 mai rece
Cons: 0w30 atinge limita
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 151000 km
Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.
Pros: zero oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I like the Lucas ones personally.
Pros: user likes it
I use an oil extractor on our 2016 Tiguan, my 2016 A4, and 2023 Arteon. All have done a great job and make an oil change an absolute breeze.
Pros: great job, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I have a 2024 Jetta S with the 6 speed. Mine used about a 1/4 of a quart of oil in the first 500 miles. I topped it off and it hasn't use any since, now at 5K.
Pros: low oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 5000 km
I paid $67 for 4 qts of lucas full synthetic oil and a filter on Amazon and just grabbed an O ring from harley. Harley's oil is fucking garbage. Lucas, Amsoil, Motul & Mobil 1 full synthetic are all damn fine products.
Pros: damn fine products
Cons: Harley's oil is garbage
My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.
Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle
Vaguely remember having the oil and brake fluids changed for my 40k, and maybe a tire rotation.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 40000 km
This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
Pros: different additive package
Cons: viscosity is different
I used the middle one on an old 200,000KM Porsche Cayman S that was burning oil. It made it worse, smoke started coming out of the engine when the oil cap was off and I felt like the engine would soon die.
Cons: made it worse, smoke
