Owner reviews for engine oil

Valvoline max life kicks ass.

I've been using 0W40 Euro Formula from Mobil 1 for years in both my cars. You will be fine running it.

I only use amsoil in my gti...would never use n e thing else in my car

I’ve personally ran amsoil in all of my vehicles, and haven’t been disappointed

Just got my first Blackstone oil report on this engine. LiquiMoly 5W/40, 9,098 Miles. Here' s their comment: "We think you've got the oil change interval dialed in pretty well, but with results like these, you could push it a little if you wanted or needed to.

I use Castrol Edge European Formula 0W40 for all of my VWs (2005 Phaeton, 2014 CC 3.6, 2017 Jetta SE and now a brand new 2019 Alltrack SE): I buy it from Amazon, for $ 24.47 for 5 qts. The oil has a "European Formula" label on the front and specifically states "VW 505. 00 and 502. 00 " on the back, and is made in Brussels, Belgium.

I have used the LiquiMoly kit and it seems great. Awaiting my Blackstone oil analysis from the first oil I put in...ran it for 9000 miles, which was more than I had intended.

I got some Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W40 which is VW502 00 approved. I decided to try this oil as their name is on the oil filler cap, as in the past with other cars I always used Mobil 1 0W40.

Genuinely speaking, it's actually not bad oil at all. Apparently manufactured in Germany, meets or exceeds the OEM spec for my cars. In my 350Z which likes to drink oil, I change it using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 but I keep a bottle of this (also 5W-40) in the boot for top ups.

Switched over to LiquiMoly Molygen since 90K. Engine and transmission drives like new.
