Engine oil Mobil or RAVENOL

Mobil Engine oil

Ran Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy for a while and it was fine, but lately I've switched over to the Toyota branded. It's more expensive, but I only change my oil once a year because I don't drive it much, and I like the higher molybdenum content in the Toyota stuff.

Pros: higher molybdenum content
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle: Toyota

The OE VW oil is Mobil 1 0W-20 ESP X2 with a zirconium marker and blue dye added for VW 508/509 requirements. The ESP X2 0W-20 is the only M1 product that meets the higher HTHS spec needed for VW 508/509. Its also API SP and has balanced chemistry for LSPI issues in other makes.

Pros: meets higher HTHS spec

I do my own oil changes. dexos is pretty much a quality certification standard and I use Mobil 1 Fully synthetic 0w-20. I did my first change at 1,5k then at 5k and will do one at 10k. I always replace the filter and I have a magnetic drain plug to collect shavings that may pass through the filter in case it ever is compromised.

Pros: quality certification standard
Mileage: 1500 km

Avoid Castrol. Use Mobil1 or LiquiMolly.

I'm using 5w40 and never had issues overheating in summer but im not doing half hour pulls. No oil consuption also. With 5w30 when driving hard it was eating a lot of oil.

Pros: no overheating, no oil consumption
Cons: avoid Castrol

Rating 3.0

about 4 weeks ago i did a 10w 30 mobil 1 synthetic oil change in my obd1 vr6 mk2. i find with this i can hear more of what is going on under the hood and may b i'm getting parranoid over normal noises that are just amplified b/c of the intake everything coming from the motor seems louder. lifters i'm assuming esspecially when motor is cold. but oddly there is also a weird \"diesel\" sound...pinging?...around 3200 rpm.. Nothing before or after once motor is warm i notice it as well during coasting deceleration.

Pros: can hear more
Cons: weird diesel sound
