Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen
The data I've seen round the web, including BITOG forums says that Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 is as good or better than the waaay overpriced Motul stuff.
Motul xclean, amsoil signature series, valvoline max life, and penzoil ultra platinum are the favorites.
Ive only bought at walmart. $21.97. My turbo calls for an ingredient thats in the pennz synthetic
I also found out the filter (Mobil 1 extended performance) was about $6 cheaper there too
Motul or Penzoil.
My car only gets Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Seems like a good quality oil!
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum every 3k miles religiously.
The project farm video convinced me to use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. It’s about 98% of the performance of Amsoil for much less money.
From what I've read online, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 is a solid option that you can find at most retailers.
Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.
Even though Amsoil produced the lowest wear numbers I'm using ultra platinum since I find that is what my car runs best on, engine is quieter than with amsoil or Mobil and velvety smooth.
