Engine oil Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

I use the 0w40 Mobil 1 European Formula. It\u2019s great and it\u2019s cheap and you can find it literally anywhere. I get mine for $22 for 5qt from Walmart.

Mobil 5w-40 has absolutely been quieter for me than the Castrol equivalent.

Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.

I'm at 80,300 miles, original owner and I just changed the oil, first time I tried Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 502.00 504.00 507.00 and the old R is idling quieter than ever, previously I was getting some slight timing chain noise but now its gone.

Used mobil-1 on my 2015 corolla for 156k miles zero issues. Have used Mobil-1 0w-20 on my 2018 Camry for 65k miles and this point I have had no metal deposits for the whole duration.

I have a couple of oil changes of the M1 0W30 ESP. It does meet the spec.

I use 40 until Winter then I switch to 30.

I use OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 15w50 oil on my oil burning autobahn buster Scirocco

I've always had great luck running 0w-20 Mobil 1 through my 2012 skyactiv. Regular changes through 130k and counting.

Yes, you can certainly use 506.01 in your TDI and it's used in many TDIs around the world. However, based upon some of the UOAs offered up, I'd suggest moving to 507.00. The 506.01 has shown relatively high wear metals.
