Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Golf

On my 2016 GTI with 211K on it, the only oil used was Liquimoly. From 0 miles to 200K miles it burned a quart every 3500 miles and that never changed at all.

I have a 2019 golf r and I run liquid moly 5w-40 ever since I got it 2yrs ago and never had a problem..

Walmart carries jugs of Castrol Edge SPT 0w40 A3/B4 for much less than quarts at AutoZone

Run it in my R, wife's GTI, and even ran it in a WRX I used to have. It's good oil, the analyses I've sent in over the years don't lie!

5w40 is fine for the summer.. I would go with liqui moly next time if the prices are similar.

i'm using the liqui moly 5w40 oil in my R, as well as previous owner has also used this oil. I absolulely love it. i also used to use in my 11 GTI previously as before using this oil i used to use the mobil 1 0w40 in the gti, but since i've switched to the liqui moly the engine used to run so much smoother.

i'll keep using the blue jugs....i love this stuff

I used to use Mobil 1 (European formula) and was a good oil as well but when I switched to liqui moly the engine in that gti was running so much smoother so that’s why I only used liqui moly in my R as well

Thanks - I just ordered 2 5-qt jugs of the 5W40, less than $25 each and free shipping. We use this in my 2016 GSW and my wife's 2007 A4.

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

I used US Mobil 1 0W-40 in my old 1.8T (mk4). I used it for two changes (finished off a box) and always found it was burnt at only 3k miles. You could smell it as soon as I pulled the dipstick out.
