Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or PETRONAS

Petronas is a pure virgin oil.

Great for UAE road and climate.

I personally use Petronas oil or petromin oil.

Great performance and good mileage getting.

I used the correct spec 0w20 for 150,000 miles and then switched to 5w30. We’re at 208,000 miles now and running great. Always LiquiMolly

You're going to be fine with 5w40 the thinner oil is for fuel economy but heavier oil will make your car last longer so that's the tradeoff.... If you are in a warmer climate then a lower starting weight would matter but I'm in Canada and I'll be running 5w40 liqui moly all year every year.

Also will help with oil consumption.

Been using Liqui-Moly 4200 5w30 and I don't lose/burn any oil (yet).

I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.

I have have had very good experience over the decades with Liqui Moly 5-40 and Total Quartz 9000 5-40 Both are excellent motor oils

I use 10W/60 Liqui-Moly with all my engines. I am old school and to a point, thicker is better.

Only vw507 that I can get in my area is motul or liquimoly. I get whichever is on sale.

I’ve been using top tech 4200 for years in my CKRA passat and swear by it. No issues at all currently at 175k miles

The 2.0 liter gas/petrol engine is the weak link here, due mainly to poor piston ring design. We are third owners of a '14 A4 6MT, purchased in mid '17 with 48K miles. We're at 98K miles now, and with 5K engine oil changes using Liqui Moly or Elf/Total fully synthetic, we use a small nominal amount of engine oil between changes.
