Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM Volkswagen

AMSOIL Engine oil

I switched to 5w-30 instead of the factory spec 0w-20 and that slowed down my consumption. I use Amsoil to maximize protection with use of the "wrong" oil weight and I monitor wear with oil analysis and seem to have no change in wear from my 0w-20 use.

Pros: slowed consumption, maximized protection, no wear change
Mileage: 180000 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

I used Amsoil Signature when I was driving 1300 miles a week just so I could go two months between oil changes.

Pros: extended oil change intervals

AMSOIL Engine oil

I change oil once per year, using a high-quality synthetic that meets specification 504. I generally drive 8 to 9 thousand miles per year. The maker of the oil I use (Amsoil) says to follow the car maker's change interval.

Pros: high-quality synthetic
Mileage: 8000 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

I\u2019ve been running Amsoil signature 0w-20 in my FL5 for about 5k miles now. No track driving, just a mixture of city/highway. Some spirited pulls and rowing through the gears but mostly normal driving. Car is stock aside from PRL intake and custom tune. Had Blackstone do an oil analysis after the first 3k miles and all was well and below the average for all wear metals. I\u2019m in Florida so pretty hot climate overall. Very happy with the oil and will continue to use it at that viscosity

Pros: happy with the oil
Mileage: 5000 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.

Pros: inexpensive filter
Cons: expensive oil
