Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or AMSOIL

Also, I have upgraded to Amsoil Synthetic Engine Oil which further helps for maintaining DPF health as it reduces ash that can accumulate and plug the filter.

I still use the VW spec Liqui Moly I used before the delete. Sure it's not as needed for the DPF, but low ashing is still better for the turbo, and it's still a high quality oil i know will be good at least through the 10k recommended interval.

N20s are trash, but regarding the oil opinion: I have a client with over 250k miles on his original N20. I've been the only shop servicing it since 20k. 0W20 Liqui Moly every time. Still on the original turbo, chain guides, oil pump, everything.

I like the mobil 1 esp because I can find it at Walmart for less than $30 for 5 qt. I also run the liquimoly 505 5w40 oil and it holds up really well but costs a lot more.

My brand new one acted the same. I did an oil change at 1000 miles and went with Amsoil Hybrid 0w16. Since the oil change I really don\u2019t feel the vibration, much smoother.

I ended up buying Liqui Moly on sale recently so that helped.

Mk7 Golf R with an APR stage 1 tune. I do 10k intervals using LM Top Tech 4200. I add a qt between changes.

Liqui moli Lichetlauf 5W40 - Burns much less than others.

So recently I’ve noticed that on startup I get a little white smoke that dies down after warming up to about 170 oil temp I noticed this after I changed the oil I used the same green liquimoly oil my gti has been stage 2 tuned for abt 5k miles now, stock is20 and it’s a mk7 tuned it at 100k miles I’m thinking pcv. my peak boost has gone down one psi and I remember it used to hold 28.5 right before I up shifted now it’s only 26.5

Amsoil's biggest 'benefit' is a longer service life. Their additive pack doesn't break down as quickly, so you can run it longer between oil changes. However, if you're paying twice as much and running it twice as long, it's a wash and you're not gaining anything. When I was selling Amsoil, I had a modified 4 banger and a high mileage 24v that had both been running Rotella for the entire time that I owned them before switching to T6 when it was introduced. I pulled UOA samples every 1k miles, then switched to Amsoil Signature after 5k and did the same thing except I pushed the Cummins to 10k. Zero improvement in fuel dilution, wear markers, or carbon build-up. After seeing there was no real-world benefit, I stopped selling it. I won't market a product I don't believe in, let alone one that I see as an outright scam.
