Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or Total

This oil has good parameters and depending on your driving habits will require change 6k-10k, but if you can perform changes more frequently - even better.

I can personally recommend ***Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30****.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*

Liqui-Moly Leichtlauf 5w40 FTMFW! Switched at \~30k and now going on 90k...both run smooth as silk and don't burn any oil at all...

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.

I’m using Total 5W30 and pretty satisfied with the performance.

Yamalube is a good oil, nothing special. Get a more premium oil if you care about smoother, stronger performance.
