Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
Went to the dealer today and got this. 5 QTS CASTROL EDGE PROFESSIONAL 0W20 LONG LIFE IV (RED CAP) 1 VW Oil filter, Volkswagen 04E 115 561 H 1 Drain plug with washer $74.99
I use 40 until Winter then I switch to 30.
I use OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 15w50 oil on my oil burning autobahn buster Scirocco
I've always had great luck running 0w-20 Mobil 1 through my 2012 skyactiv. Regular changes through 130k and counting.
I ran Castrol 0w-40 euro blend for both my e46s and the stuff was awesome
I use Mobil 1 full synthetic on my track prepped 350Z
I did an oil change at 6,300 miles on the factory fill. I sent it in for a UOA through Blackstone labs, but I'm not sure how to attach it here. The TBN showed some life still left in the oil, they suggested trying 8,000 miles next.
I would drain that oil with the Marvel in it and use use 0w-40 Castrol Full Synthetic (Made in Germany/Belgium). You can get a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for less than $25 usually. It's probably the best "over the counter" oil you can use in a VR6. Widely used and highly recommended.
Toyota Synthetic is made by Mobil. It’s basically Mobil 1.
I'm currently happy with Mobil 1, 15w50, except when it comes time to pay for it, yikes that stuff is pricey. First time I ran the Mobil 1, guess what happened?? Oil light flicker at hot idle. Replaced the low pressure switch, no more flicker. That switch didn't change characteristics just because I changed oil, the fresh oil was thinner, oil pressure decreased.
