AMSOIL oil and filter. I swear the butt-dyno gave me a few ponies after switching from Mobil.
I have 148k km of entusiastic driving w/Amsoil 5w30 Series 3000. The Ontario distributor actually rates this better than the Euro formula so I will keep using it.
AMSOIL BABY, all the way. 10w30 Turbo oil and filter every 12,500 or 6 months whichever comes first. Out performs all other brands!
I've been using Amsoil on my '02 A4 1.8T. Converted it over as soon as I could b/c that little hamster gets hot during the long summers around here. Car doesn't burn a drop of oil, of coure it has only 29k on it.
I'm using Amsoil 15w-40 in both of my Diesels with great results.
I just picked up some Penzoil synthetic 5w-40 today and right on the front of the bottle it says "Meets BMW and Mercedes requirements" a little search on back label listed all the specs and all VW specs listed above are on the back of the bottle.
Amsoil series 2000 20w50.
I change every 5,000 with Amsoil in my TDI. I like to change oil and keep tabs on everything under the car, so it's worth it to me.
