Owner reviews for engine oil

As long as you get name brand oil at the weight your owner manual says you'll be good, I run penzoil in mine and she seems pretty happy with it

After NGP Racing rebuilt my engine in 2015, I found out about LiquiMoly. Read up on it and sticking with L.M.

I recommend Nissan oil or any motul synthetic with Ester. Thats what these engines recommend. Had mine for 12 years and still a very relevant car today.

Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?

I literally just changed my oil today, I love it, I have been using AMSOIL directly for years now with free shipping and free membership if you spend 500 a year or more if I recall correctly.

I run motorcraft in my mustang and have zero complaints.

I use either Mobil 1 ESPx2 European Car Formula 0W-20 available at Walmart or Valvoline Full Synthetic European Vehicle 0W-20 from NAPA. Both are approved VW 508 00 oils and can be cheaper than the oil at the dealer.

If you want brand recommendation choose Valvoline Extended Protection 5w-20 every 4k miles.

Regardless, I haven't heard of Aral, but I wouldn't knock it without proof that's worse than Castrol.

my vw eats full synthetic castrol 5w40. thats what the dealership recommended to me.
