Engine oil Mobil or MOTUL

I recommend this. used it for my m550

holds up very well. the car likes it. the thinner OE spec oil kind of evaporated a bit after 4-5k miles but this one hasnt.

I have a block heater, and use high quality synthetic oil (Motul 8100 5W-30) .

I use the Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 which is synthetic *and* meets JASO, just because it is always available at the nearby Walmart.

I use M1 5-30 because I've ran it in well over a dozen cars and beat on all of them without issue, and it's only $28 for a gallon jug at walmart. I also run liqui moly ceratec to silence the typewriter tick it developed around 35k.

I recall mobil1 going red being normal.

For 2W Motul is best.

Mobil 1 ESPx2 is the right choice here. The regular 0W-20 does not carry the VW 508 00 approval, whereas the ESP one does. It’s a great oil to use!

I don't think you will find anything but Selenia as "approved" but you will find plenty of "meeting specification". I know that meet the -GH2 spec and those are Motul (which I use), Fuchs and Ravenol. But long story short...match the specification designation from a good oil brand and you're golden

I only use Mobil1 High mileage. Everytime I drop the oil at 100%, it feels less oily? Kinda less slippery? Definitely darker than I would like. My feeling is change it a little early.

I sent a few samples from my Ecoboost 3.0 to Blackstone Laboratories at 5k miles each. Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum, both used Fram ultra synthetic filters.Oil was pretty much cashed out. I couldn't imagine going any further than 5k.
