Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM Volkswagen

Using 5W30 since deleting the MDS system from my engine. Amsoil Signature, every 6 months or 8000 km.

I called Amsoil and asked about this many years ago. They said for *my* bike, with the 5 speed tranny, they recommended the same 20w50 in all 3 holes.

I run the 5w-40 amsoil diesel oil in mine. No issues whatsoever.

My GT350 gets Amsoil. Had no issues with either one.

Using the same oil but 15W50 for Himalayan. Satisfied with the performance. Even after long rides, the engine feels crisp.

used Amsoil 5w20 last oil change and just did an oil change at ford with motorcraft due to my poor planning… typewriter tick is back with this oil. Didn’t have that at all with Amsoil.

Having recently transitioned from Motul 7100 to Amsoil Metric 10W40 for my Yamaha MT 15, for about 4000km I sought an oil that could deliver reliable engine protection and smooth operation. here are my pros and cons

I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.

I did have a 1982 diesel Jetta go 435,000 miles on oem int. shaft bearings. I had access to a lot of free Amsoil back then....so, that may have helped. However, I think it over-lubed the cylinder walls though. Rings weren't exactly what you would call 'tight.'

I have used Amsoil, but I feel as if my motor makes a funny noise with that in it.
