Engine oil Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

Mobil Engine oil

Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?

Pros: easy to pick up locally
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 40000 km

I use either Mobil 1 ESPx2 European Car Formula 0W-20 available at Walmart or Valvoline Full Synthetic European Vehicle 0W-20 from NAPA. Both are approved VW 508 00 oils and can be cheaper than the oil at the dealer.

Pros: cheaper than dealer oil

I've always put Mobil1 High Mileage in my 2013 Scion tC, IIRC Mobil1 is what Toyota uses at the factory. I had a heavy upper oil pan gasket leak that's largely stopped since switching to high mileage oil.

Pros: leak largely stopped
Cons: heavy oil pan leak

My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.

Cons: caused pre-ignition, destroyed sparkplugs
Mileage: 146000 km
