Engine oil OEM Volkswagen or Lucas
Reviews
I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.
Pros: grateful for sharing them
Cons: 1 qt decrease in capacity

Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.
Pros: quality oil is a good investment
Cons: run hotter than usual
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

I use Lucas oil in my motor oil for 1990 VW 1.6L Jetta diesel. I started using Lucas Oil because a relative of mine has been driving a large semi for almost 30 years, and he, like many in the trucking industry, swear by Lucas Oil. Judging by the parts per million of metal present in my motor oil, my motor oil with 1 cup of Lucas Oil, was wearing pretty well.
Pros: wearing pretty well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 12070 km
Personally I use 8-10k change intervals on my Jetta, its rated for that, and i use the right oil.
Pros: right oil, long intervals
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 9000 km
So I drained the gearbox while I was there and refilled with 1/4 Lucas oil, the rest 80/90
