Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Eneos

Random guy who works on these cars here, change it at 5-6k regularly. Ignore the casuals here who don’t work on these cars, and especially Ignore the factory recommended interval. Your engine will last much longer, you’ll reduce wear on the timing chain, turbo, as well as other components. You’ll also reduce the chance of your piston rings getting glued together with carbon creating excessive oil consumption. Just change it. I recommend liquimoly oil.

5k or less with Liquimoly. Just had oil pan and upper timing cover replaced at 123k miles (plastic parts leak/ fail bc of heat cycles) and my timing chain looked like new, and not one spec of metal or debris on the bottom end. Unitronic stage 1+ since 75k miles.

My local shop in Canada does it for $125 plus tax and uses liqui moly oil.

Liqui moly is the best stuff in the market! I have been running it in my ST for years. It runs better and has lower oil temps than motorcraft.

I use 15W-40 Liqui Moly Touring High Tech mineral oil. The filter you buy from BMW is made by Mahle so I would suggest that.

I use liquidmoli on my 13’. Have for the past 4 changes every 10k miles. Been great so far!

I religiously use LiquiMoly Molygen in my GTIs, nothing else

LiquiMoly TopTec 6200 0W-20. It is dyed green just like the OE oil, and it meets the VW 508.00 standard.

Used LiquiMoly 0w-20 at 5k and will continue to do it every other oil change.

I would just go with liqui moly leichtlauf high tech 5w40. A little expensive but well worth it. One of the the best out there and as long as you do the oil change yourself you are good to go.
