Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.

Pros: still running fine
Cons: used a little oil
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 153000 km

36k miles and still not burning a drop between 10k OCI's. I use VW 0W-20 Full Syn 508/509 spec each and every time, until mobil1 releases a Full Syn clone. Noticed a "slight" increase in MPG's with the newer oil.

Pros: no oil consumption, increased MPG
Mileage: 16093 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

If you want oil that has zinc, close to the oe oil weight, and is really good I'd go with ams oil, it is expensive but after 3k miles mine is still really clean

Pros: really good, still really clean
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 3000 km

If you only daily and don't run hot, hard, or do lots of WOTs; then just use Honda or other quality oil that you are comfortable with. If you push it harder and want to spend money, use something better like Amsoil Signature (my choice), Royal Purple, or Motul.

Pros: quality oil, good performance
Cons: pricey for daily use
