My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.
Owner reviews for engine oil
I have a 2011 Escape Hybrid 2.5L with about 175,000 kms. I run Valvoline Advanced 0W-20 full synthetic as recommended by my mechanic. I've found it much better on fuel economy in colder weather than the 5W-20 for multi-seasonal use, especially in colder weather regions (I live in BC, Canada).
Used Mobil 1 in all my Toyotas for the last 20 years. My dad's Scion xB is close to 400k miles running strong.
Was using motorcraft, switched over to Amsoil. Cost is the same maybe a couple dollars more.
Stick with 5W50. Brand doesn’t matter as long as it’s a quality supplier. I used Mobil 1 in the beginning
Always used M1 on my 30 year old Celica/camry. They both run flawlessly. Done over 30 changes on the Celica (160k miles)
I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!
Been using Eneos & changing it every 4k miles/4 months. Congrats on the WRX
I jumped on the Pennzoil Ultra Plat bandwagon and have no complaints.
Liqui Moly Leichtlauf (the dark blue bottle) 5w40: This is the oil I ran this sumer, and I'm on my second oil change with it. This oil burned about 2 quarts during both intervals, but did not seem to thin out or break down at all.
