Mobil Engine oil

I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.

I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.

So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.

Pros: burns less oil
Cons: null
Mileage: 1609 km

Pros: no problems
Cons: worse gas mileage

Castrol Engine oil

Castrol Euro in my mk6. It meets the VW spec according to the bottle. I've been using only that for 9+ years, changing oil at 10k miles or 1 yr, zero sludge, zero problems, original turbo, good compression, good oil pressure, etc. IMO it's very good oil.

Pros: zero sludge, zero problems

Mileage: 16093 km

Rating 3.0

A few month after the gdi cleaner I started to get a couple misfire on cylinder 1 during startup. It was not bad enough to really noticed but would though an engine code then go away every other week. After some troubleshooting I came to the conclusion that is was probably my fuel injectors.

Cons: misfire on cylinder 1
