Engine oil Mobil or RAVENOL

I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.

I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.

So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.

Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 all day long on my sporty for both engine oil and primary/transmission. Mobil 1 has better wear protection than the HD stuff.

Mobil 1. If you can find them, and if you can buy them original, no regret yo.

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.

I work in the automotive industry; and by far, Liqui Molly, Motul, and Total exceed Mobil 1. Mobil 1 has the recognition and they worked hard at marketing for many years. Independent German studies conclude that they are 3rd place at best when it comes to \"good quality\" oils.

I used US Mobil 1 0W-40 in my old 1.8T (mk4). I used it for two changes (finished off a box) and always found it was burnt at only 3k miles. You could smell it as soon as I pulled the dipstick out.
