Owner reviews for engine oil

Mobil 1 FS X2 5W-50 + BG oil additives because of higher mileage (259k km), been running good for the past 3.5 months, previous owner used some Castrol 5W-30, so i wanted a change and test oil consumption.

I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.

I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.

So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.

I have a 2019 stage 1 and switched to liqui moly 5W-40 when i tuned it. Been using it for 2 oil changes now and haven’t had any problems other than worse gas mileage obviously.

Castrol Euro in my mk6. It meets the VW spec according to the bottle. I've been using only that for 9+ years, changing oil at 10k miles or 1 yr, zero sludge, zero problems, original turbo, good compression, good oil pressure, etc. IMO it's very good oil.

Use 10w 40.. preferably from Meguin oil change interval at 8000kms

Brother use 0w 20 or 5 w 20 for 50k milage, if possible find original liqui moly engine oil.

Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 all day long on my sporty for both engine oil and primary/transmission. Mobil 1 has better wear protection than the HD stuff.

I just did the restore and protect on my 2015 and let me tell you that it has made a massive improvement. Immediately the engine runs quieter and smoother and after 500km it’s like my engine has much more power.

Many reputable rotary shops have tested numerous oils over the years, and agreed that the bearings do not have adequate protection with 5w-20 or 5w-30, especially if you track the car or do any spirited driving regularly.

AMSOIL - DO NOT USE THIS CRAP , No seriously this stuff is crap and it's not worth the risk. I put this in my R32 at 24,000 and the motor blew at 24,500 due to a depleted rod bearing.
