vs
Engine oil Total or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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
I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*
Pros: better specifications
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
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
I've added only one quart of oil to all the VWs I have owned over the past 35 years. I check the oil every 3 months, and get the oil and filter changed annually. I don't think that modern engines consume oil, at least, not for the first 100K miles of their life.
Pros: minimal oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 160934 km
None of my MK7, 7.5 GTIs or GLIs consumed any. Nor does my MK8.
Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
After 6 months of ownership, I have not lost any oil/ needed to add any oil. My MK7 1.8 TSI Golf SportWagen was the same way. Never needed to add a drop between the 10k mile oil changes. Not complaining at all. Quite the contrary. Just hit 6000 miles and the oil still looks new. I was originally planning on 5k mile oil changes but decided 7500 miles makes more sense for me at least.
Pros: oil still looks new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 6000 km
2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
Pros: high mileage achieved
Cons: oil consumption every 3K
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 341180 km
Total 9000 5w40 because he drink it
Cons: drink it
