Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
They were using the wrong oil- Shell 0-30, and it was clicking pretty loud when cold. I got the oil change kit from Duetche Auto and put in the Luqimoly. What a difference. I cant recommend it more. You will love it.
Personally, i like the Lubro Molly stuff the best. While not too relevant to the MKVI and the TSI engine, when I used it on my former MKV with the FSI engine, I definetly noticed a lot less oil residue on my tailpipes and the engine just felt better, smoother and quieter.
Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.
I change every 5K with Liquimoli 5w-40... I'd use 5w-40 over 5w-30, especially if you're doing any kind of upgrade to performance. Car will run a heck of a lot better.. 5w-30 is to thin when working an engine as hard as most of us do.
All I know is my dealer used 5W30 Castrol throughout my free factory serviceand I burned oil like crazy, since I have switched to Motul VW specific 5W-40 I have yet to burn anything noticeable.
For my 2.5 engine, with +100k miles and a turbo, ive been using liqui moly with great success. It meets the 502 requirements, and it yields great results.
VW uses Castrol Edge 5w-40, it's what they used for mine too, i do like Castrol but not the one made here in UAE(Sharjah), therefore on my RS6 i am using Liqui-Moly Top Tec 4100(VW approved 502, 505, 505.01) which is only made in Germany and i very happy with it, therefore i am going to use it for the Phaeton as well!
i know out of my positive personal experience with this oil and then every Blackstone oil analysis indicates low wear. i am a very satisfied customer which will only run liqui moly fluids on all my motors.
I am now testing Motul x-cess which should be even better
I agree with nickbeezy... Liqui moly is qualit oil... Its funny, the way i see it: it delivers better quality than expected... If you use the oil in addition to some of their additives you will notice impressive results. These results include a quieter engine, better mpg, better long term reliability, less oil burned, etc.
