Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Jetta
I run VW. 502 Lubra-moly 5w-40 that my local NAPA special orders for me.
Just put mine in today at the owners manuals advice, 15,000 KM. Castrol 5w40
i drive a 95 jetta vr6 i currently running mobil 1 10w-40 but i been hearing alot of good things about this new castrol edge thinking about switching to the 5w-40....im hoping i feel a difference
i run 20/50 Castrol year round. it actually reduced the burning and smoking of oil on start up, unlike Mobil 1. i'm glad i switched over.
i always used 15w40. usually shell rotella in all my old diesels. sometimes i used castrol. but it was always 15w40
Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.
I've owned this car for a year and stuck alot of money into it and love it but have to part cause i just ordered a RHD rx-7 from japan so i need to make room in the garage and i have to part with my VW its sad but i hope i find a good owner. INFO: 46,000 miles ENEOS oil is good for 22,000 miles they say but i still changed it every 5,000 miles. i also used it in the transmission and i felt a difference just from the oil and will use it now in every car i own.
i run 0w30 in my jetta 2.0. fully synth. have for 33,000 miles, no problems, other then better gas mileage
I typically use whatever is cheapest and proven oils for all my cars. I have an '08 2.5 and have been using T6 5w40, they typically run coupons for them for $20 or 25.00 for the gallon jug. No, it doesn't get VW's official stamp of approval but it seems to do pretty well in this application and seems quite popular amongst various other makes especially Euro cars that require a 40wt oil. Quite honestly, I'm pretty sure you can run a quality 5W30 in this motor, it is not anything special. I've run M1 0W-40 and although it has the VW spec labeled on it, my car always had a faint tick coming from the valve cover area (lifter?) when warm. It never did this with the T6 oil in it.
