Engine oil Mobil or VALVOLINE

Valvoline Synpower 5w 30 is on the approved list for VW usage, doesnt make it THE choice but whatever floats your boats I guess and in this case it looks like R P floats you the best

Valvoline SynPower full synthetic ) 5-40 (P/N VV966) is not on the VW approved oil list. But it certainly is approved, just read the label on the bottle:\"VW 502/505/505.01\"

I run Mobil-1 0-40 in the winter to 4 or 5k miles, in the hard driving months I use their 5-40, and change it once or twice a month.

I use Mobil 1 0W40, and have been going 4000 miles between oil changes.

just use Mobil1 0w40 or Castrol 5w40...both can be found at autozone and are 502 approved

Now i can notice a smoother iddle and the car seems to pull more even in the RPM. So far so good i'll trust MObil 1 till my next oil change but always be aware of what those dealership are doing seems like a big ripp off to me !!!

A lot of the guys I know ended up running valvoline VR1 20W-50 (A Dino oil, fwiw) because that was the only thing that keeps their rod bearings alive for more then a couple of weekends. Switching from thinner oil to that made the difference between changing bearings every couple of weekends to once a year.

Easiest to find is Mobil 1 0W-40, Porsche's recommended fill.

I use mobil 1 0w40 and it makes a big difference

0w - 40 Mobile 1 was all I used for over 3 years, and the R was flawless until I sold her.
