Engine oil AMSOIL or ELF

When I tried Amsoil in my 16v for the first time, oil temps were 10 degrees cooler on my MFA. I have Mobil 1 in now and my oil temps are back up 10 degrees higher.

same as most any other top quality synthetic, but a little better i blew 3qts out of my rabbit on its maiden voyage an drove for a few min with probably almost no oil pressure. no damaged bearings, no damaged lifters, engine still runs like a champ an that was almost two years an several thousand miles ago.

I used ELF Excellium NF 5W40.

FYI, I was running Castrol 5w-40 previously, but the last two changes have been with Amsoil 5w-40. I could understand 5k intervals, especially for guys w/FI, or those who admittedly beat the hell outta their 24v, but dang... A lot of $$$ going down the drain here.

Rajvosa, would you say your oil comes out cleaner and less worn when u change it out at 3,000 miles? My buddy put amsoil in his worked Evo and after 3,000 miles, it was just as clear as the day he put it in. Prior to amsoil, mobil 1 was used and 3,000 miles later it was BLACK. That is the main reason why I went to amsoil and my mileage aready went up, car runs sooo smooth, and I feel its the right oil for the 24v.

I runn amsoil's european car formula 5w40 full synthetic and being a mechanic i will vouch for amsoil all the way because i can always tell the difference between good oil and ****

I went 10k on amsoil 5w40 and never needed to add oil.

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

ok i just did an oil change today. i put in Elf Excellium 10W50 Full Synthetic. anyways, the difference is awesome. much more free reving and "wanting to go faster" feeling. before oil change it felt tired and revs were lazy and engine had a 'fuzzy' sound when accelerating. anyways, all is good now
