I have been using liqui moly 5w-40 in my 2009 2.5l for the past 30k miles and i think its the best oil. recently i have discovered their MoS2 anti friction additive and put that in my last oil change. the car runs very smoothly and should last a long time with its strong wear protection. also the car consistently achieves good MPG.
I have used royal purple once and didnt really are for it... But now i have been using motul 8100 x-cess 5w40 on my 06 2.5l rabbit for the past 5 oil changes and it works amazing... I'm going on 6500 miles right now and it still has a yellowish tint to it, like clean oil! I do some autocross, some quarter miles, and I drive a little aggressive... This oil is awesome an I would definitely recommend it...
There is few more approved liquimoly, amsoil I personally use 5w30 liqui with oem filter every 5-6k miles
My guy uses Motul 5w-30 in my CC.
Related test in European car, changed all fluids and spark plugs saw gain in HP.
On my MKV GTI when I switched to a thinner Motul from a thicker Pentosin I noticed a good bump in power.
Good quality synth 5w40 alllll dayyy eryyy dayyy. Flip open your owner's manual, 5w40 is the recommended oil. 30 weight thins out too much during extended drive periods or in high temp areas. FWIW the previous owner of my Golf sold it because it was an "oil burner" he was using gas station brand dino 5w30 :screwy: I switched to Motul and then Gulf 5w40, and drove it for 55k+ kms, had to add about 1L between my 10K OCIs.
When I first purchased my 08 WE, I used M1 0w-40. I found I was using about 1/2 quart per 5000 miles. LM cut that down to about 1/4 quart per 5000 miles.
I use Liqui Moly/Lubro Moly Oil (German synthetic stuff), can be found in Napa Autoparts, ECS or Amazon for a very reasonable price. I use it in my Audi and have had no issues whatsoever.
Well, today is the day. My TT get's its first oil change. Motul X-Clean is going in!
