Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Castrol

I've used Castrol in all my VWs and have never had any issue.

I use liquimoly on my ‘15 Mk7. It’s one of the most recommended on the forums. Haven’t had any issues.

I have used the green stuff for my last 3 oil changes, not looking for leaks but at the same time will be easier to spot if something does decide to pop up.

i'll keep using the blue jugs....i love this stuff

I used to use Mobil 1 (European formula) and was a good oil as well but when I switched to liqui moly the engine in that gti was running so much smoother so that’s why I only used liqui moly in my R as well

5W-40 is better for the M54, IMO - try Fuchs Titan SuperSyn or Liqui Moly Leichtlauf.

I always use Castrol on both my Honda and Volkswagen.

I put mine in around 20k. The first change I did - it had 2 small metal shavings. I got very nervous. Ever since then there has been the powder you have in the pic above. Sometimes more sometimes less. The 2 times I have used Castrol I found more than other times (This could mean it protects less or that it carries the particles better than other oils). I will only become worried when I start seeing shavings. To me it's only an additional monitoring system. Like in a tranny - powder is ok, but shavings mean save up some cash. oh and my car is now at 125k.
