Owner reviews for engine oil

I used 502 505 G-Energy FSynth 5W40

I've added only one quart of oil to all the VWs I have owned over the past 35 years. I check the oil every 3 months, and get the oil and filter changed annually. I don't think that modern engines consume oil, at least, not for the first 100K miles of their life.

None of my MK7, 7.5 GTIs or GLIs consumed any. Nor does my MK8.

I use Liqui Moly 5W-40 which is on the VAG 502 and 505 list.

After 6 months of ownership, I have not lost any oil/ needed to add any oil. My MK7 1.8 TSI Golf SportWagen was the same way. Never needed to add a drop between the 10k mile oil changes. Not complaining at all. Quite the contrary. Just hit 6000 miles and the oil still looks new. I was originally planning on 5k mile oil changes but decided 7500 miles makes more sense for me at least.

I used Castrol edge cos that's what my audi used from the factory.

Liquidmoly 5w40 is what I use in my 2019 Gti 2.0

LiquiMoly is great oil. They offer oils that meet brand specific certifications like BMW’s LL-01 or GM’s LL-A and LL-B. So they’re a great option for cars with specific requirements.

For my 1.6 diesel I use Castrol Magnatec 0W30 Stop-Start C2 which was recommended to me by cox motor parts (great store for Honda parts)

It's a ok. Ran mobile one in my s50 sometimes rotella t6
