Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Castrol

It helped significantly! Went from burning Castrol to liquimoly which burns way less. Also I use a liquimoly sealer now and then to reduce consumption.

I buy the Castrol Edge OE 5w30 that DAP sells and change the oil preemptively, always with VW brand filters. Has all the VW certs necessary, is what VW uses, and doesn't break the bank.

Liquimoly Leichlauf High Tech 5W-40 with OEM filter. VW 502.00 and 505.00 certification and no complaint here.

at 30K and third oil change @ 10K, my oil analysis went to the waste oil furnace, it said the oil was perfect. First change @10K was Castrol 0W40, last two were Mobil 1 0W40.

No warranty here (MKV), but i experienced a (significant) decrease in oil consumption, when switching from Motul, to MolyGen. YMMV.

I only ever use Liqui-moly and Mann filters on these cars. This past weekend, I cleaned the hell out of the interior.

Either Mobil 1 or Castrol GTX - never had oil issues with either one.

Running the OE Castrol 0w-20, pushing the car very hard up a twisty road in NC/SC, I saw a maximum of 235F with an ambient temp of 75F. My averages with normal driving are close to yours. These temps are well within the oil's capability.

i been using it religiously for now 85k miles, i have tried Quartz Ineo 5W30 502 Spec oils made my engine produce more heat and valvetrain noises. The Castrol Edge 0W40 I use now tops out at 212, normally sitting between 205 and 210. With the 5W30 Quartz it was constantly sitting at 227-237 which is pretty significant.

this oil is my most trusted, been using it since new with the best results ( i tried Mobil1 0W40 and a 5W30 Total Quartz once each and oil temps were 15-20 degrees hotter in similar ambient temps and conditions with both of those so i decided not to use them again).
