I just use LiquiMoly 0W-20 with the VW spec
Liqui moly solved lifter noise on my old Kadett.
Liqui Moly Molygen 5w-40
Fellow mu-X owner here! If you're thinking about upgrading from the standard Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil 10W-30, check out the ZIC X7 Diesel 10W-30 Fully synthetic. I used Amsoil Turbo Truck 5w40 too (10k km interval) but it's expensive for my Garage queen mux haha. Mobil Delvac1 5W-40 is good as well.
I recently changed the engine and transmission oil in my car and opted for Liqui Moly, as from what I researched it withstands higher temperatures compared to the OEM.
I’ve personally been running Liqui Moly LL-04 5W-30 as this grade seems a lot better to be using in a high performance engine to induce longevity. Plus the gen 2 B58s don’t have the same oil pump issues as the gen 1.
I have Signature in my 25. Smoothed out the engine noises quite a bit.
My own experience: liquimoly Mos2 leichtlauf. The one with grey oil.
I did an oil change with liquimolly 5w-40 and added liquimolly lifter additive, and drove it for a week hoping it would go away.
Get a catch can but that mobile 1 oil you are using is for shit . Amsoil is best for mustangs and the best for that matter period it\u2019s cost but you can run it 25k
