Engine oil Mobil or MOTUL

Mobil Engine oil

At around 60k the car really began consuming oil (1qt every 2000 miles or so). I used to use regular 5w-30 oil, and then switched to Pennzoil full synthetic 5w-30, which didn't help the problem at all, and maybe even made it worse. Finally, i switched to Mobil 1 0w-40 and all consumption has basically come to an end. I've not had to put a drop in it after 1500 miles and its at the same level as the last oil change.

Pros: consumption basically came to end
Cons: consumption increased with Pennzoil
Mileage: 96560 km

MOTUL Engine oil

Thus far (only 10,000 miles into the game), I have been rather surprised that I have not had to add a drop of oil yet to my 2010 2.0 TSI. Drove with the DSG in Sport mode during break-in (in an effort to keep the revs up a bit, and encourage more range in the shift points), drained the factory fill at 1400 miles, and have been using Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 since then (changed out at 6,000 and 10,000 miles).

Pros: no oil consumption
Mileage: 16093 km

I've done mine every 6k, with Motul 5W-40 Specific and an OEM filter. It's pretty damn black when I take it out.

Pros: Motul 5W-40 Specific
Cons: pretty damn black
Mileage: 6000 km

Of course this is assuming you're using really good oil, something like Mobil1 ESP 5W-30 or at least the Castrol LL03 VW507.

Pros: really good oil

My TDI is now at 5000 miles, and per my personal preference I changed the oil. It is very simple with an oil extractor. Start to finish will take less than 20 minutes. This is a fast and simple way to change the oil and stay clean.

Pros: fast and simple
Mileage: 8046 km
