Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
In our 2003 1.8T Passat, we use; Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w-30. Changed every 4000 miles. Because we made the change early, we have not had and engine oil sludge problem. The Passat now has 205k miles.
Pros: no engine oil sludge, long engine life
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 329915 km
Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.
Pros: oil consumption far less
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 207000 km
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a crowd favorite and what I've been running in mine.
Pros: crowd favorite
Vehicle:

I’m using Pennzoil Euro 5W40.
Pros: using Pennzoil Euro
Once the oil temp reads the temp number, you're all set to do what you please.
Vehicle:

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has been doing well in my UOAs.
Pros: doing well in UOAs
I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.
Pros: cheap, easy to find
FA20s show regular positive results with Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus.
Pros: positive results
Vehicle:
Subaru
I've changed my TDI's oil every 10K miles since it was new. It currently has 330K miles on it and runs like a watch.
Pros: runs like a watch
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 330000 km
I run Pennzoil Platinum in mine (same engine) which is another popular oil. 5w-30 btw.
Pros: popular oil
