Engine oil Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

The newer 2.0TSI engines used a low friction oil scraper ring so they seem to use more oil than earlier engines. If not abused, then should be ok if you maintain the oil level.

Mobil 1 . When my engines run smooth, makes it worthwhile. Any newly changed oil is better than any old oil. But Mobil 1 > Rest of ‘em.

I used to use German Castrol 0w30, then Belgian Castrol 0w40, now I use Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 in most applications. Intervals of 5000 miles Every engine I've had ran great under this regime.

Mobil 1 0w20 ESP. Advance Auto and some Walmarts have it.

I used to get my 0-40 Mobil at WalMart for my Audi, because they were the cheapest.

Mobil 1 Advanced 15w50 automotive oil. Yes you heard me right. No it doesn’t cause clutch to slip. $25 for 5 quarts at Walmart. Best protection against friction and wear money can buy. 11k and zero issues. No metal shavings on drain plug after break in with factory oil.

Audi uses Mobil 1 at the dealer level. Stick with that.

I've been using Mobil 1 0w30 in my NA 2018 CX5 for 180,000 miles , no issues and runs quieter than 0w20 .

used mobil 5W-30 while ago, discovered it consume oil too fast. after that i’m stick with seasons cheapest LL01 approved oil. Elf 900FT 5W-40 for several years, going to try Penzoil 5W-40. N52 consume oil anyways.. but bit slower than 5W-30.

I was running it in a VR6 engine, and couldn't believe how much extra chain and lifter noise there was. I put up with it for a couple weeks, thinking it might get better but it didn't, so I switched to Castrol Edge 5w-40 and noticed the difference immediately. Noise means wear, so I feel comfortable staying away from M1 for my VR6 engines.
