Owner reviews for engine oil

0-40W here all year round in Chicago 138k miles and still going strong

I just changed my oil and filter on my 2006 GLI 2.0T. I used Mobil 1 15w-50 and a MANN filter purchased from the VW Dealer. My best friend is an awesome Audi/VW tech and he advised me that was fine combo.

i used their oil before and was very happy.

castrol 5w40 is what vw puts in the new passat. just did my 5k oil change the other day. i used a original vw oil filter also.

I use Amsoil full synthetic 15w-40 year round in my 1.6D with over 250k miles.

Josh, just get yourself a gallon of Rotella syn 5W40 oil from Wallysmart. It's a perfect solution for an old buggy like yours. I think it's around $14/gallon and is ideal for year round use. you may even pickup a couple of MPG.

Personally I use 8-10k change intervals on my Jetta, its rated for that, and i use the right oil.

I've been running Redline or Royal Purple 40wt

All oil changes on this car have been done with Castrol Syntec 10W30 Full Synthetic and an OEM Mazda Filter.

Amsoil 20w50 in my 8-v 12:1+ 1.8 liter Rabbit Amsoil 5w-40 in my street turbo Jetta and track turbo Golf.
