Engine oil Mobil or ZIC

I bought a case of Delvac1 5W40(4x4L) Synthetic at a distributor not too long ago for $128 tax included. On a side note, it was cheaper to buy the Delvac1 than the Mobil 0W40!

As for oil, I suggest using Mobil 1 0w40. They recently started carrying this in town and my mpg has improved with it.

I switched to Mobil1 5w-30 shortly after purchasing my 99.5 1.8T and I haven't had any problems, as a matter of fact my cold-weather starts noticeably improved and oil temperatures seem to be consistently lower during normal operating conditions.

changed my oil two weeks ago to mobil 1 5w30 and she runs very smooth

I switched to Mobil1 synthetic. The factory fill oil is 0w30. I replaced it with Mobil1 0w40, it complies with all of the specifications, and is not that expensive.

I have been using mobil 1. Amsoil is very good also.

I would recommend using Mobil 1 0W40 with a Mobil 1 filter...noticed a great improvement, not only in the reduction of the noise, but the engine is quieter as well overall...

I would recommend Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40. This is what I use. A 40 weight oil will help out with your ticking sound.

I have been using 15W-50 Mobil 1 in the '92 Jetta for the past 130K miles (it has 264K miles total on it !!!). It doesn't leak or burn a drop and it is all original (best motor I have ever had!!!).

I recently tore down a Ford 302 V8 with over 300K miles on it which I know ran Mobil 1 all of it's life and it was just as clean as the new (Jasper) engine being installed! No varnish, sludge build up and virtually no wear!
