Engine oil OEM Volkswagen or Lucas
Reviews
None of my MK7, 7.5 GTIs or GLIs consumed any. Nor does my MK8.
Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
After 6 months of ownership, I have not lost any oil/ needed to add any oil. My MK7 1.8 TSI Golf SportWagen was the same way. Never needed to add a drop between the 10k mile oil changes. Not complaining at all. Quite the contrary. Just hit 6000 miles and the oil still looks new. I was originally planning on 5k mile oil changes but decided 7500 miles makes more sense for me at least.
Pros: oil still looks new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 6000 km
Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.
Pros: meets manual spec
Cons: brand relatively immaterial
2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.
Pros: worked great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil
Pros: no oil leak
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 300000 km
I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.
Pros: engine still able to function
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Mileage: 400000 km
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
Pros: doing oil changes often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
Pros: high mileage achieved
Cons: oil consumption every 3K
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 341180 km
After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
Pros: identified incorrect oil
Cons: incorrect oil used
Part number: G-E60-020-1B-DSP
