Engine oil MOTUL or AMSOIL

When I changed to full ester Motul in my motorbike, there was a noticeable reduction in the time it took for the startup rattles to quieten down.

Amsoil 10w40 and there 20w50 non race oil it says right on the bottle it has a heave zinc compound for extreme use. I use the 10w40 in my Rocco 16v my wifes mk1 gti , and a lot of other vehicles. No upper end noises on any of them. Worth it weight in gold!

I've been running the AMSOIL 5w40 in my cars exclusively for the last 5+ years and it has lasted well and held up to abuse as well.

Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.

For those of you having a hard time finding VW spec. oils and you desperately want to stick to the 5w-40, try your local lawn mower, or small engine repair shop. In my area only they stock the 5w-40 synth. VW 502.00 oil - they used to get Elf/Total, but recently moved to Amsoil.

All I know is my dealer used 5W30 Castrol throughout my free factory serviceand I burned oil like crazy, since I have switched to Motul VW specific 5W-40 I have yet to burn anything noticeable.

I've been running 12k-20k, oil & filter change intervals with Amsoil since 1978 (mainly in VW/Audi engines) and have never come close to wearing out an engine. When I sold my 1990 Audi 100 with 260k miles, it was still only using a quart of oil in 10,000 miles.

I've been told the magic elixir for the VR is 20w50 Amsoil Not sure I can verify that just yet but my VR is a bit quieter with it since I added it

I used Amsoil 0W-30 Severe service oil in my Jetta 1.8T for the first 120k miles or so. No problems, mostly 5-7k oil changes except when I was commuting from Ct to Boston.

I am now testing Motul x-cess which should be even better
