Owner reviews for engine oil

Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5w20. Good deals on it ordering from Walmart and usually free next day delivery.

Valvoline Restore & Protect. Its no joke.

AMSoil signature series. Best stuff you can get!

I've used Mobil 1 in all my vehicles before this car. I have chosen Amsoil Signature Series for the WRX.

Go with whatever is easy for you to source and also meets the VW502.00 standard. I personally run Mobil 1 0w-40 or Liquimoly 5w-40, whichever I can get cheaper.

I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.

The red Motul is amazing stuff!

My 911 has over 100k, I switched to 5-w40 mobil1. I’m sure driven is fine too, but mobil1 is perfect and designed for our cars, cultists be damned.

Mobil-1 FS 0W-40 is a solid choice, and you can’t go wrong with it.

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.
