I have been using Mobil1 for a long time in all my cars. AFAIK it has performed will in independent testing for this car as well but the consensus is that the shell rotella is the best stuff you can get. i have also recently switched to 5w20 instead of 0w20 because i live in a climate where it never really gets cold and i wanted something a touch heavier for auto-x abuse. most people agree that we are talking about a very minor difference at best, but it does feel a touch smoother now.

Pros: feels a touch smoother
Cons: minor difference at best

The liquimoly additive, Oil Additiv p# 8352, did help me for a bit but now it's back to the usual oil guzzling. For my choice of engine oil I use 5W-40 Toptec 4100 liquimoly .... I think it reduced consumption somewhat over OEM castrol.

Pros: reduced consumption somewhat
Vehicle: Audi A3

I have the cr150 tdi and am running liquimoly 10w60. Have not used a drop of oil running the cr190 turbo. Oil is just starting to grey ( diesel thing) after 5500 miles. 0w-40 505 mobile was burning off on me and god forbid pentosin 5w-30 507 smoked like a chimney - I got multiple engine lights having to pull over and undo the cap with the engine running, downright embarrassing. Going to attempt amsoil (not going Walmart mobile 15w-50, give me liquimoly) 5w-30 diesel and see how that works. 15w-40 works great but still barely makes it to 10k for me. I am finding it hard to run gas/diesel oils like liquimoly without a 5k interval, 7qts of liquimoly 10w-60 for $65 Amazon. Practically have to run strictly diesel specific for me, hard to find heavy duty synthetic diesel oil at common shops sometimes.

Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 5500 km

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Neither Castrol (OE - 5-40, or 0-40), or Liquimoly 5-40 burned a SINGLE DROP in about 5-6k miles!! Why would I buy a \"High performance\" oil, only to constantly need to top-off, like I own a crappy Harley. I never follow the crowd, Mobil included. Liquimoly and Castrol are great. Someone else made a great point. When do you ever,.....EVER see a car die or even have ANY issues caused by oil. My father had a car last 260K miles on absolute garbage oil from LubeXpress (Last meaning he donated the car with 120LBS compression, each cylinder). You will DEFINITELY see issues in your Transmission, clutch, suspension, RUST, steering, interior finishes, etc. before you will EVER see an issue related to Oil. Picture all the fox-body mustangs that are absolute TRAIN WRECKS...that still run and have power...but everything else is destroyed THAT SAID...Just make sure to use a VW spec oil in your TSI. Coking of turbo's is no joke.

Pros: no oil burn, great performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

Started using Liquimoly 5w-40. Wow what a difference! 3/4 qt. per change cycle. There really is a difference. Same spec as the others though.

Pros: significant difference, low consumption

I have used Mobil one for 25yrs and never had an engine problem. I have a 1978 Alfa that uses Mobil one for most of it's life when the oil was released and the engine is perfect.

Pros: never had engine problem, engine is perfect
Vehicle: Alfa Romeo
