Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Golf

Castrol euro has been good to me for the last 120k miles.

Liqui moly for me runs about 4-5 degrees lower than OEM for my GTI. not sure if the same temp diff exists for the R but I did some reading on this. Perfectly normal.

First oil change at 15,000 kms. Went for Ravenol, it’s made in Germany and seemed like a superior choice.

Pick one oil and run it for life preferably liqui moly , I hear these particular engines need one oil for life , drive her hard sometimes should be fine

I ended up going for Liqui moly leichtlauf 5W40 and in the 300km gone nothing has been consumed which is good news.

Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.

My 2012 golf r loves it 63,000 miles I use 5w40 Molly gen and a can of ceratech every 3 oil changes and I some how don’t burn or consume oil

I just changed the oil in my MK7 GTI (around 300hp) with MOTUL X-cess (5w40) and my god did it ever make a difference!

My ‘15 Golf Sportwagen ate a quart Mobil 1 between oil changes. Not the case for LM.

Liqui moly apparently it’s not good oil, they’re just good at marketing
