Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Volkswagen

prietenii mei... baga motul cu certificarea aferenta, ziceau ca e o idee mai silentios motorul.

However my "go to" oil in the last two oil changes was the Motul Specific 508 00 509 00 0W-20.

Last change , used Motul 8100 0W - 20 Full synthetic

Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.

Motul 8100 X Clean 5W30, used by reputable specialist Mini garages here in the UK and is in my 2018 JCW.

For such a climate as Mexico I'd stay away from 0w-20 and go at least to 0w-30 or 5w-30, last one being the OEM afaik.

Tbf my specialized mechanic put 5w-40 LL-04 Motul in mine for years and it's been blissful.

Motul gamit ko ramdam ko ang arangkada at tahimik makina.

Shell Advance Scooter naman d ko ramdam yung arangkada nya kasi medyo may delay at ambilis mag bawas ng langis. Unlike sa motul na low oil consumption lang sya d sya ganun kalakas mag bawas ng langis.

The one that seems to have made the greatest difference (non-tracking) is the one referenced below in either 5w50, 5w40, or the two of them mixed together. Per the relevant gauges, the 996 runs a bit cooler and the viscosity (via oil pressure readings across running temperatures and times) stays higher.

I just use Kawasaki mineral oil or the Honda/Yamaha similar. Never had issues. Tried motul, liked the smell, same performance, more expensive, no point for me.

Re oil is shit it makes the engine feel like a generator.

Using motul 5100 15w50 since last 2 oil changes
