vs
Engine oil ROWE or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Not really . My tuner (jackal motorsports) recommends Rowe RS synthetic oil . Currently using LM molygen , it's ok but apparentlyThe RS is the best stuff
Pros: high quality oil
Cons: just ok
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 have a 2024 Jetta S with the 6 speed. Mine used about a 1/4 of a quart of oil in the first 500 miles. I topped it off and it hasn't use any since, now at 5K.
Pros: low oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 5000 km
This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.
Pros: stellar report at 12,228
Cons: higher wear metals
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 12228 km
I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.
Pros: stopped oil consumption
Cons: used a bit of oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 60000 km
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 10000 km
I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.
Pros: regular oil changes
Cons: 3.6 is lethargic
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 8046 km
Eu 0w-30 folosesc la un golf 4 1.9tdi si sunt multumit, masina porneste foarte bine la frig, al meu drag motor mananca, si trebuie sa completez 100 ml la 5-600 km cv de genu.
Pros: porneste foarte bine la frig
Cons: motor mananca ulei
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Got these Rowe bottles. Fully Synthetic. German. Lets see how it performs.
This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.
Pros: different additive package
Cons: viscosity is different
