Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Castrol
The Liqui Moly fully synthetic 5w-40 has similar properties at below -30° Celsius to many 0w-40 or 0w-30s. It is very good oil, I went from Mobil 1 0w-40 to the fully synthetic LM (also available from Meguin for a cheaper price) and it is definitely running smoother.
M50 and [Liqui Moly 10w40](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/10w-40-motor-oil-semi-synthetic-5-liters-liqui-moly-lm2043) from FCP for that sweet sweet free returns on everything
LiquiMoly in my 130k mile M3/4/5. For no real reason other than misplaced brand loyalty.
Running Liqui-Moly oil with a zinc additive has been keeping my 150k engine sounding good through 5 track days with 3 years of highway beatings in between.
Absolutely always use mazda filter and the owners manual says use Castrol which the three local Mazda dealers use this I also go with it. Over 60k miles with oil changes anywhere between 3k-6k and still runs great.
Have used Mobil 1 European formula 0w-40 and liquimoly molygen 5w-40 in my 2019 golf r without any issues. Molygen holds up great to the fuel shearing from ethanol I run.
I run [Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w40] in my car. Even though it's a 2015, it has a motor out of a 2019.
I use and recommend Liqui Moly 5w40 leichtlauf. It's LL01 approved and is really good quality.
I use Castrol GTX 20W-50, same as what the manual calls for. I know the oils changed since then but the previous owner didn't care for the car properly so I feel like the detergents are necessary.
Everything I've found for my 2008 Rabbit 2.5L engine specifies Euro 5W/40. Although you can find it in several brands, the best price I've found is the Castrol Edge Euro 5W/40 at Walmart for the 5-quart jug.
