I also use liquimoly 4200 top tech in my 2022 rs3
20-50 Mobil 1 in the motor, 75-90 gear oil the transmission and the primary. I’ve done this on my 03,2017,2019,2020 and my 2024
You need the specific VW spec 0w-20. It has a bluish and green hue. Its for fuel economy and warranty, also for stuff like the fuel filter and the intricate other parts of the engine, running regular 0w-20 may cause problems.
Oil needs to be specificly designed for VW. I use [LiquiMoly Top Tech 6200 VW 508 Spec](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-0w20-synthetic-oil-change-kit-liqui-moly-mann-538720?ads_cmpid=21759816943&ads_adid=170798399249&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=715097223081&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-293946777986&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21759816943&gclid=CjwKCAiAt8bIBhBpEiwAzH1w6Xei8JrrLq8MziCPaWxXnDYi7k66dFtY4Tj6tiqXtBQJa-l1PzNhoBoCp0QQAvD_BwE).
Any A3/B4 euro oil. M1 0W40 is really good and well priced.
These engines need 40w either 5w40 or 0w40.. I ran 0w40 Mobil 1 syn euro formula for the 60k miles I had my GTI, it's cheap and readily available in 5qt at Walmart, thinner on cold start up it when hot is still 40w, it's also the factory recommended by Porsche
Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 and Delvac 5W40 are right next to each other at Walmart and usually within a dollar of each other in price. Our 2 cars use Mobil 1 ESP and my diesel Jeep uses Delvac 5W40. Both are good oils, so I think it will just be your personal preference. Blackstone tests will tell you the story on your oil and intervals better than Reddit.
An oil change to Liqui Moly 5w40 worked wonders for mine. Still zero lifter tick after about 1500 miles. Highly recommend.
All in all, that engine oil is expensive, holy liqui moly
I only really noticed issues with oil consumption when I use mobil1, so I try to avoid that.
