Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or AMSOIL

My 2015 1.8 used to drink a piss load of oil when I first got it at about 100k miles. I switched to Liquid Moly or Mobil 5w40 every 7500 miles and it stopped on it’s own.

Liqui-Moly Leichtlauf 5w40 FTMFW! Switched at \~30k and now going on 90k...both run smooth as silk and don't burn any oil at all...

I have used Amsoil for years and I change my oil every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.

I used the correct spec 0w20 for 150,000 miles and then switched to 5w30. We’re at 208,000 miles now and running great. Always LiquiMolly

You're going to be fine with 5w40 the thinner oil is for fuel economy but heavier oil will make your car last longer so that's the tradeoff.... If you are in a warmer climate then a lower starting weight would matter but I'm in Canada and I'll be running 5w40 liqui moly all year every year.

Also will help with oil consumption.

Amsoil 5w-40 in my 3.6 Corrado that gets pushed hard to redline often and has seen somewhat high oil temps when driving harder. I use liqui moly 5w-40 in my 3.6 CC and 3.0T Q7.

Been using Liqui-Moly 4200 5w30 and I don't lose/burn any oil (yet).

if you to go for the best oil and the most expensive ones, you can use liqui moli, valvoline, ams oil

I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.

The 2.0 liter gas/petrol engine is the weak link here, due mainly to poor piston ring design. We are third owners of a '14 A4 6MT, purchased in mid '17 with 48K miles. We're at 98K miles now, and with 5K engine oil changes using Liqui Moly or Elf/Total fully synthetic, we use a small nominal amount of engine oil between changes.
