Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Shell

It completely transforms the bike , it resists heating like it almost non existent even after a hard session of riding, performance is consistent in warm up, cold start or all kinds of situation ,fuel efficiency definitely increased, and the acceleration is also noticable better and power is also good compared to when I used to run on liquid gun and on highways the bike totally becomes a beast . I highly recommend shell to my fellow riders, it's the one that completely suits RE engines

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 switched to 5w30 shell from 10w30 havoline.

No problems. The engine is a little bit cleaner.

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.

I am using Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, fully synthetic for my Lancer (2006), change it at around 7000 KMs. No complaints, my travel includes short & long distance, very happy & satisfied.

I run Shell Rotella T6 5/40 I live in Florida. Slightly high copper on the STI. The Tribeca is fine and purrs like a kitten.
