I always use Penzoil Ultra Platinum and have never had an issue.
This is the second time I had put Amsoil in my scooter and I had to post the findings over here for my fellow scooter riders here.
The performance jump is noticable, my access now pulls pretty graciously post 60 km/h before it was more noise and less acceleration with Castrol 5w40 synthetic. You can feel the acceleration in your bum and hands when you twist the throttle after 65 or 70 which is where most if the 125 cc scooters flat out due to lack of power.
Even doing top speed for more than 1 hour in highways you will feel no vibration thats how smooth the engine+Amsoil combo is.
The smoothness of this oil with this suzuki engine is next level my friend who borrowed my scooter for a day (apache rider) said it feels like riding an electric scooter that's how smooth it is. So do try!
I’ve switched to Pennzoil and I’ve noticed I went from burning about ~1 quart between 5k mile changes to barely burning anything. It seems like my motor is a little happier with it based on it not making such a racket but that might just be confirmation bias
Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.
I use Amsoil SS mainly because I do long drains, over 20k Km. So the price of the oil is not a big issue.
Great oil but worth it only if you do long drains.
Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.
As long as you get name brand oil at the weight your owner manual says you'll be good, I run penzoil in mine and she seems pretty happy with it
I literally just changed my oil today, I love it, I have been using AMSOIL directly for years now with free shipping and free membership if you spend 500 a year or more if I recall correctly.
Finally ended up with Penzoil Plat. Can't tell a difference at all when the oil is fresh. Also engine never burned oil on Penz.
I got an oil change with Pennzoil 5W-40 Euro, which I was not too fond of, because the light weight of the oil made my lifter noise sound much more pronounced.
