Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Golf

Mk7 Golf R with an APR stage 1 tune. I do 10k intervals using LM Top Tech 4200. I add a qt between changes.

Was running cheap ass liqui moly but now that I\u2019m not slow stock turbo anymore i run Motul 8100 Xclean (5w-40).

On my previous car, a VW Golf 7 2.0 TDI I used to change the oil (Castrol 5W30 Long Life) every 12000km.

In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30

0-40 M1 Euro. Stage 1.

It was the cheapest I could fine locally. I was looking for Penzoil 5-40, but could not find the Platium Euro I was looking for at the time. The M1 is known to be on the thinner side, and I am in Cali so that works. It is also known to keep things super clean inside the motor.

Motul is a good oil but i stuck with the OEM stuff when i replaced my clutch

Done 2 oil changes so far and car has not used a drop of oil and I drive it pretty hard.

I’ve used Castrol and Castrol High Mileage on my Mk6. At just over 143K miles, I’ve had no engine issues at all.

I did an oil change with liquimolly 5w-40 and added liquimolly lifter additive, and drove it for a week hoping it would go away.

La 7-8000km ce am scos din motor se chema apa colorata, nu ulei. La rece se auzeau tachetii. Nemultumit.
