Engine oil Mobil or ROWE

Mobil Engine oil

I use Mobil 1 full synthetic because I also use it for my car, and if you send you oil off to a lab after you change it, even at 3000 miles the oil was still in great shape.

Pros: oil still great shape
Mileage: 3000 km

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

My 1.8T has just over 103k miles. I got it at 78k, and until about the 95k mile mark, I've been using M1 0W-40, then switched to M1 5w-40 Truck and Turbo-diesel, since I wanted peace of mind with its extra additives and protection. I figured since this oil is meant for high operating temps and high load in turbo-diesel engines, it would be just as good in my daily-driven and weekend-tracked 1.8T. I change my oil a few days before going to beat on it over the weekend, otherwise I'll change it every 3k to 5k miles. Also, I have had some valve noise (tapping of some sort), the whole time I've had the car. I'm guessing it's lifter noise. I'm not sure, but I was told to try a heavier weight to counteract it, hence the switch to the only decent 5W-40 sold on base. Still no difference in noise.

Pros: extra additives, good protection
Cons: no difference in noise
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 103000 km
