Engine oil MOTUL or AMSOIL

AMS oil 5w40 "European Formula" after first 5k. Just dumped the first oil after 10k of hard driving. Still had lot's of life left in the oil, and no noticeable consumption as we recovered almost all of what was originally put in (4.4 of 4.5L)

For what it's worth I run Amsoil 20-50 in both holes on my 01 sporty 1200, never had any issues.

Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.

Been using Motul on my 3.2 for the past two oil changes. Haven't had any issues.

I had use both and i have driven more miles without needing to refill with motul. But motul > mobil one

AMSOIL is good stuff, but it's expensive.

In my last four VWs I've run the Amsoil 5w40 Euro Spec oil and think it is good stuff. My 1.8t engines in my old Passats ran really quiet with this oil. I changed the oil in my GTi at 2500 miles and switched to the Amsoil and have had no complaints. I'd recommend Amsoil.

I also use Amsoil European Spec Mid-Sap 5W40 approved by VW

I always ran the Motul Grand Prix in my shifter, I never had any engine problems. Still run it in my dirt bike, I love the smell of it, too.

I use MOTUL for my oil.
