Engine oil Mobil or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.

Pros: stick to service interval, air filter change often, diesel filter change yearly
Cons: mess up by doing service at 15k km
Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo

Mobil Engine oil

Mobil1 is available at Walmart for about $25 for a 5 quart jug. I change mine every 6k miles per the manual (used oil lab analysis shows that\u2019s more than adequate for me), and when I had a rod snap at 114k miles, all the bearings looked new, so the oil was clearly not to blame.

Pros: bearings looked new
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 114000 km

Mobil Engine oil

You need the specific VW spec 0w-20. It has a bluish and green hue. Its for fuel economy and warranty, also for stuff like the fuel filter and the intricate other parts of the engine, running regular 0w-20 may cause problems.

Pros: for fuel economy, for warranty
Cons: may cause problems
Vehicle: Volkswagen

These engines need 40w either 5w40 or 0w40.. I ran 0w40 Mobil 1 syn euro formula for the 60k miles I had my GTI, it's cheap and readily available in 5qt at Walmart, thinner on cold start up it when hot is still 40w, it's also the factory recommended by Porsche

Pros: cheap and readily available

Mobil Engine oil

Im using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 which is a thicker Euro oil here in Upper Midwest USA. I don't notice any difference is sound, acceleration, not efficiency vs 0w-16 and 9w-20 in a 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE.

Pros: no difference in sound
Cons: no difference in efficiency
Vehicle: Toyota
