Engine oil Mobil or MOTUL
Change the oil again and use Mobil 1 full synthetic and make sure it says V-TWIN on the label.
I’ve been using Mobile 1 since I’ve purchased my RAV4-brand new. Now at 160xxx miles with no oil burn. Runs like the day I bought it
I used mobil 0W30. Seems like they're one of the few that make it
Mobil1 and Castrol are all I’ve ever used on my 266k mile 09 rabbit. I replaced the valve cover in nov 21 and that engine was super clean inside. Still runs very well.
If I could change the oil myself I would do it every 5k using the cheapest 507.00 spec oil I can find. But I can’t so I do it every 10k and use Mobil1 ESP.
Well if you ride a dirtbike i might not reccomend it i use motul 7100 10w50 i belive it isnt rly expensive and its a good oil most of the local racers use it including me.
As long as it states VW502 on the back, you should be fine.
I used to live in Chicago, and had cut over to Mobil1 0W40 based on feedback from a very respected resource who worked for Porsche. For context, his recommendation was grounded in enabling my engine to better handle the harsh Chicago winter temps.
To be frank, I'm not sure if it made a huge difference but then again I do not have a chemical or petroleum engineering degree.
I drove my VW to 200k miles without any issues.
This is amazing . I have it in my 200 ns and it feels so smooth. There is 300v too but i never tried it . 7100 is best engine oil beside petronas if you can locate it anywhere
The Motul 7100 20W50 is a good choice.
I have an 07 Rabbit with the same 2.5L. I tried Mobil 0W40 one winter. It was OK for about the first 6000 KM, then the engine began to sound like a diesel.
