Changed it for Mobil 1. My owner's manual specifies API CD oil, so the mobil 1 should be fine (says it is suitable for CF applications).

Pros: suitable for CF applications

API (SF) oil usualy contains way more detergent than Diesel CF grade oil. I'm not sure what this kind of oil can do to your engine... But I would suggest using Mobil Delvac 1 oil.

Here's something kinda interesting, when using Mobil 1 5w30, I experienced a higher rate of oil consumption than with Mobil 1 0w-40...I was losing approx .5 quarts every 2k miles...the 0w-40 loses nothing between 3k...

Pros: 0w-40 loses nothing

Cons: higher oil consumption

Vehicle: Volkswagen Bora

Same here. My oil temps are on average 20 degrees F cooler with the 5w-40 as compared to Mobil 1 15w-50.

Pros: cooler oil temperatures

For highway driving on a vr6, oil should be changed every 5k. City driving is 3k. BTW, go for 5w30 Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic. NICE!

Pros: Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 5000 km
