Running the OE Castrol 0w-20, pushing the car very hard up a twisty road in NC/SC, I saw a maximum of 235F with an ambient temp of 75F. My averages with normal driving are close to yours. These temps are well within the oil's capability.

my wife has the below setup on her Jetta and I have the General G-MAX AS-05 on my Passat. EeZeEpEe said: I got these to replace my stock tires back in February 2017: General Altimax RT43 Radial Tire - 215/60R16 95H Pretty affordable compared to stock and feel the perform better.

i been using it religiously for now 85k miles, i have tried Quartz Ineo 5W30 502 Spec oils made my engine produce more heat and valvetrain noises. The Castrol Edge 0W40 I use now tops out at 212, normally sitting between 205 and 210. With the 5W30 Quartz it was constantly sitting at 227-237 which is pretty significant.

this oil is my most trusted, been using it since new with the best results ( i tried Mobil1 0W40 and a 5W30 Total Quartz once each and oil temps were 15-20 degrees hotter in similar ambient temps and conditions with both of those so i decided not to use them again).

I use Mobil1 0w-40 and a Mobil1 filter. Haven’t had any issues. I’ve noticed that when my oil intervals where more far apart the engine would idle at 1,400rpms then feel like it raises it and lowers it like some of the sort. An issue that goes away once I put fresh new oil in everytime. It doesn’t interfere with the engines performance or anything but it’s something I notice on cold starts.

I originally ran 10k intervals as recommended by VW. Early oil changes were done with Castrol Edge OE 5W-40(exact same type the dealership uses) Later on I thenswitched to Liqui Moly 5w40 Leichtlauf high tech and began running at 5K intervals after reading quite a bit about the 10k intervals being too long.

I have used that brand i linked before though, and they are ok. I wouldnt put them on a track car or go 150mph in them, but they are fine for your average daily.

Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
