Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Corrado
Amsoil 5w-40 in my 3.6 Corrado that gets pushed hard to redline often and has seen somewhat high oil temps when driving harder. I use liqui moly 5w-40 in my 3.6 CC and 3.0T Q7.
Pros: good for high stress
Cons: high oil temps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I've been using Castrol Edge 5w-40 for years and have had good results, but wondering what others are using. I initially used Mobil1 0w-40 but got a lot of lifter noise which disappeared after switching to Castrol.
Pros: good results, quiet operation
Cons: lifter noise with Mobil1
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Not saying it is better than anything else, but on my G60 turbo i used Mobile1 FS-X 5w-50 and will continue with this oil on my PG/ABA turbo.

On my car (1992 SLC VR6) on a 100 degree humid summer day, I see a max of 260 degree Farenheit on my oil temp display. I'm running Castol (non-synthetic) 20w-50w in the summer, but I switch to 5w-30w or any of the less expensive 5w-xx oils during the winter. I've been doing this for 5 years now, changing the oil & filter every 3000 miles, and so far, no problems.
Pros: no problems, 5 years
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Mileage: 4828 km
I just did the chains + headgasket and a bunch of other misc stuff on my Corrado earlier this year. My guides were worn pretty bad and it only had 120k on the clock.
Cons: guides were worn
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Mileage: 120000 km
I used to use M1 0-40 in my VR6 Corrado, but the valve, chains and engine noise went way up, especially at a cold start
Cons: increased engine noise
