Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM Volkswagen

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil is worth it and head and shoulders above the competition. I used a custom built testing apparatus to characterize dozens of lubricants including oils of all weights from Mobil 1, Castrol, penzoil, valvoline, and Amsoil.

Pros: worth it, above competition

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil. I run it in anything and everything they make fluids for. Even the 2 strokes. Father has been a dealer for decades and the number of stories he has backing up amsoi's marketing claims is IMPRESSIVE. I've personally seen a few success stories already and PLENTY of scientific testing

Pros: impressive claims, success stories, scientific testing

I personally like Amsoil better they actually created synthetic oil but I don’t believe in 25,000 miles on it oil change if you want to run it for like 10,000 and change the filter halfway through 5000 I believe the Oil Wall hold off no problem bye just seems like a lot of miles to put on oil

Pros: created synthetic oil
Cons: long oil change interval
Mileage: 10000 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

Pros: TBN still okay
Cons: aluminum and copper high
Mileage: 9979 km
