Engine oil Motorex or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.

Pros: still running fine
Cons: used a little oil
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 153000 km

36k miles and still not burning a drop between 10k OCI's. I use VW 0W-20 Full Syn 508/509 spec each and every time, until mobil1 releases a Full Syn clone. Noticed a "slight" increase in MPG's with the newer oil.

Pros: no oil consumption, increased MPG
Mileage: 16093 km

Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.

I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.

Pros: good synthetic oil ok
Cons: wrong oil high temps
Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo

Wife has a 2015 jetta with the 1.8t and burns 1L every 500 -700 miles. My 2016 a3 burns relatively nothing but maybe half a liter every oil change interval and has same engine.

Pros: burns relatively nothing
Cons: burns 1L every 500-700 miles

My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.

Cons: caused pre-ignition, destroyed sparkplugs
Mileage: 146000 km
