Been running 300V in all my cars including my GTI Best oil ever IMHO You'll notice a power difference when you switch form Castrol to 300V
it was really good. no oil consumption problems and car just felt a niice smooth power delivery the whole time i had the motul running. I also had minimal wear on my cam follower which is a big prob for people with upgraded fuel pumps on fsi's, although i have no idea if this could be related.
Yea I've used 5w40 syntec as well but seems like the dealerships in Canada are starting to use 5w30 and that I know for certain burns faster on my car. I'm not sure why the dealerships in Canada swapped over to 5w30 now but I always get Motul now. Although a bit more pricey, i intend to keep the car a long time
I also have a 2006 2.0T Jetta and I have similar oil consumption rates. Try changing the brand of oil you use. I know the dealerships use Castrol Syntec. To me, it seems as if they're not as "durable". I swapped over to ELF for a while and that helped, and now I'm using Motul and this seems to be the best. I think my car burns around 1-2 qts every 5000kms.
Does any one know which of those oils are ester based? I know Motul 8100 X-Clean 5w-40 is... Any others?
i run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice
I use motul in my vr. It's nice.
I ended up buying the rotella t 5w40 stuff in the blue jug for like 16 bucks a gallon, my vr runs better and seams to like the stuff.
I am using Rotella T 5W 40 in my 1.6NA diesel and in my TDI. I have noticed no bad effects. The oil consumption is nil and there are no leaks, etc.
In my area, I always been able to find Shell Rotella T 5w40 synthetic motor oil. It's a Group III oil and is capable of 10K mile oil changes in the AHU/1Z/ALH TDI engines and should do fine for your TD.
