Engine oil Mobil or Shell

Have used the T6 myself for years in assorted VW's and Volvos with reduced oil consumption as compared to the VW 504 oils.

When I did my oil change about 800-900 miles ago I used Mobil 1 0w-40 and so far I'm loving it more than which was last in there which was 5w-40 used at a VW dealer them selves.

It isnt either mentioned, but I have used the RotellaT6 with good results. I did this for my first oil change after I bought the car used. Not sure what the previous owner used, but the chains quieted down quite a bit.

Shell Rotella T for the win - get it cheap at your local Walmart in gallon jugs. Side note on collapsed lifters - ATF Type F, added to the oil and a 5-10 min idle cycle before you change the oil can really help clean them out for cheap. Note, ATF has a lot of cleaners in it, and is thin, DO NOT rev it...just let it idle. Worked awesome on my old Coupe GT 5 cyl with horrid lifters.

I have apr stg2 and i change my oil every 5k with mobil1 5w30 and it never burns a drop!

Mine doesn't use any, and it gets an italian tuneup every time I start it. Running Rotella T6 5w40

mobil 1 5-40 diesel truck blend has it, just referenced my blackstone labs report after 6k miles was still over 1000

Over 50k big turbo miles on Mobil 1 10w 30 full synthetic. I love the oil, try some 10w 30 :thumbup:

I'm not really too sure about the weights, but I highly recommend using specially formulated euro blend oil. I believe that is 0W-40. I personally only use mobil 1 euro blend. It is expensive but your engine is not the place to get cheap.

I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!
