vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I’ve used nothing but Pennzoil Platinum since the free oil changes ran out, 150k or so now, and never had a problem.
Pros: never had a problem
Mileage: 150000 km
I use an oil extractor on our 2016 Tiguan, my 2016 A4, and 2023 Arteon. All have done a great job and make an oil change an absolute breeze.
Pros: great job, easy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I prefer ultra platinum over mobil 1 since ultra is used with a group 3+ base oil, which has better heat handling than regular group 3 oil.
Pros: better heat handling
I use pennzoil ultra platinum 0w-20 and a purolator BOSS filter
Vehicle:
Mazda

Wife has a 2015 jetta with the 1.8t and burns 1L every 500 -700 miles. My 2016 a3 burns relatively nothing but maybe half a liter every oil change interval and has same engine.
Pros: burns relatively nothing
Cons: burns 1L every 500-700 miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I tried pennzoil and didn't like it. The engine developed a soft tick after about 3k miles. Went back to Castrol and the tick hasn't returned.
Cons: engine tick
