Engine oil MOTUL or AMSOIL

Been running 300V in all my cars including my GTI Best oil ever IMHO You'll notice a power difference when you switch form Castrol to 300V

it was really good. no oil consumption problems and car just felt a niice smooth power delivery the whole time i had the motul running. I also had minimal wear on my cam follower which is a big prob for people with upgraded fuel pumps on fsi's, although i have no idea if this could be related.

When I tried Amsoil in my 16v for the first time, oil temps were 10 degrees cooler on my MFA. I have Mobil 1 in now and my oil temps are back up 10 degrees higher.

same as most any other top quality synthetic, but a little better i blew 3qts out of my rabbit on its maiden voyage an drove for a few min with probably almost no oil pressure. no damaged bearings, no damaged lifters, engine still runs like a champ an that was almost two years an several thousand miles ago.

FYI, I was running Castrol 5w-40 previously, but the last two changes have been with Amsoil 5w-40. I could understand 5k intervals, especially for guys w/FI, or those who admittedly beat the hell outta their 24v, but dang... A lot of $$$ going down the drain here.

Rajvosa, would you say your oil comes out cleaner and less worn when u change it out at 3,000 miles? My buddy put amsoil in his worked Evo and after 3,000 miles, it was just as clear as the day he put it in. Prior to amsoil, mobil 1 was used and 3,000 miles later it was BLACK. That is the main reason why I went to amsoil and my mileage aready went up, car runs sooo smooth, and I feel its the right oil for the 24v.

Yea I've used 5w40 syntec as well but seems like the dealerships in Canada are starting to use 5w30 and that I know for certain burns faster on my car. I'm not sure why the dealerships in Canada swapped over to 5w30 now but I always get Motul now. Although a bit more pricey, i intend to keep the car a long time

I also have a 2006 2.0T Jetta and I have similar oil consumption rates. Try changing the brand of oil you use. I know the dealerships use Castrol Syntec. To me, it seems as if they're not as "durable". I swapped over to ELF for a while and that helped, and now I'm using Motul and this seems to be the best. I think my car burns around 1-2 qts every 5000kms.

Does any one know which of those oils are ester based? I know Motul 8100 X-Clean 5w-40 is... Any others?

I runn amsoil's european car formula 5w40 full synthetic and being a mechanic i will vouch for amsoil all the way because i can always tell the difference between good oil and ****
