Mobil1 15w-50 (red label) was always good to me, and readily available at wally world. Never had lifter tick in my S50US, on track or otherwise, and it went to 298k before the head gasket gave up. Absolutely could have resealed the engine and ran it another 100k+ (swapped an S54 instead).
I use M1 Extended HM with an stp premium filter. Go about 10-13k between changes.
I mostly use the 0W-40 full synthetic Mobil 1 "European" or w/e they call it. I change my oil every 5K miles, including filter (Mann).
I personally use full synthetic Mobile 1 usually.
mobile 1 is a good brand. id go with it
Why not just buy the Mobil 1 and take it to the dealer?
My 2925 Passat is happy on the Mobil 1 esp synthetic.
I was running Mobil 1 for many years in my 14 ST3 and started with Mobil 1 in my now 16 ST3 but this year I swapped to Walmart brand full synthetic and haven't had a single issue except for extra cash in my wallet. It meets all the specs and I change it every 5 thousand miles regardless of how the car is driven. I'm at 86 k now on the odometer and she still pulls string like the day I picked her up.
I have never seen my 2017 Jetta low on the dip stick. I usually change it about every 5k miles using Mobil 1.
Mobil 1 - thins out a bit and there was quite a bit of consumption when I used this oil for my first change
