Owner reviews for engine oil

Easiest to find is Mobil 1 0W-40, Porsche's recommended fill.

I use the Amsoil 5W-40 european formula. It was not on the VW oil list last time I checked, but the Amsoil says right on the bottle "meets VW spec 502.00" so I'm cool with that. Amsoil has a great reputation.

I use mobil 1 0w40 and it makes a big difference

I personnally use Elf and love it, best oil I ever used so far.

I've topped off with Castrol Syntec 5/40. The cap says Castrol on it and the manual says to use VW approved synthetic 5/40 so I figure I can't do better than that.

0w - 40 Mobile 1 was all I used for over 3 years, and the R was flawless until I sold her.

I use Mobil 1 0w-40 in my car (1.8T) because it is readily available, VW approved, has good performance and a decent price.

Mobile1 Full Syn 15w50 for my VR. I would like to think that if you changed your oil every 3000 miles under normal driving conditions than regular oil would be fine. Since I have some modifications and like to drive it like I stole it--sometimes-- than a better oil is good insurance.

i run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice

I use motul in my vr. It's nice.
