I've switched to Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 which seem to do better wrt oil pressure.
I'm one of those "risk takers" that went with Motul 5w40 X-Cess. The oil has been fine as far as I can tell but I'm no expert.
I tried Motul 7100 oil, man that thing is awesome, but expensive. Lasted be 1800miles before change
Motul every 10k for over 200k miles @486whp. Oil tests every other change. Now I do 5k or every 3 track events/races.
Try using 5w30 castrol from walmart black container with green writing, since switched been driving 2.7k with in 2-3 month oil on the same level
I'm running 5qt 5W40 full synthetic oil (Castrol Edge, to be specific). The oil is changed yearly cause I never get close to the 10k miles suggested by VW for an oil interval.
Motul X-clean efe for my 2016 WRX! 5w30. Hands down the best oil for the turbo FA20 engine.
Went to the dealer today and got this. 5 QTS CASTROL EDGE PROFESSIONAL 0W20 LONG LIFE IV (RED CAP) 1 VW Oil filter, Volkswagen 04E 115 561 H 1 Drain plug with washer $74.99
I've had good results from Blackstone with running Motul X-Clean EFE 5w30. It has a high HTHS value so it keeps it's viscosity over time, from what I understand.
I ran Castrol 0w-40 euro blend for both my e46s and the stuff was awesome
