Owner reviews for engine oil

I run Liquid Molly in my Audi SQ5, great stuff for a high performance engine.

Now the easiest one to find that meets my manual requirements is the Mobil 1 euro formula that’s the cool green color. The back of the bottle specifically states it meets VW specs.

I use 5w40 shell helix ultra on my 520i. It doesn't burn a single gram, it's relatively inexpensive (cheaper than the liquy moly I used to use) and is BMW long life 01 approved. The car runs smoothly, I'd recommend it

I use Valvoline Synpower

If I was spending my own money I would buy Mobil 1.

I’ve gone down an oil research rabbit hole many a time. There’s been some extensive studies done and besides liqui moly, studies have shown that Valvoline extended protection has some of the best wear-prevention additives and performed among the best in lab samples pulled from used oil.

I use 0w-20 liqui moly molygen full synthetic. Really a great oil.

I've always put Mobil1 0-W40 European car oil in my 2015 jetta since the day I bought it brand new but did notice they came out with a new 0-W30 oil but not sure if that's for the new jettas or not.

It'll be fine, my only argument against it is that you're probably paying too much for that quart. I've always used the Honda GN4 motor oil, buy a gallon for ~$30 when it's time for an oil change and have a little left to spare. Any dealership should carry this, Yamalube is also basically the same thing.

Former BMW dealer employees have confirmed that the overpriced BMW oil is literally castrol edge.
