vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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 run 0w30 in my jetta 2.0. fully synth. have for 33,000 miles, no problems, other then better gas mileage
Pros: better gas mileage
Cons: no problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 53108 km
That is my personal favorite so far. Use or burn less than anything else I have tried, and I swear the engine sounds quieter. Previously used Castrol, Amsoil, Mobil 1.
Pros: engine sounds quieter, less burn
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
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.
Pros: meets requirements, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
