Engine oil MOTUL or RAVENOL

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.

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 run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice

I use motul in my vr. It's nice.

The 75K miles was tested on Motul 300V on stock internals equipped with a GT28R at the time. Prior to that I was using Motul 8100 5W-40 which I also liked

I'm going to reach 5K miles soon and bought Motul 0W-40 oil.

I am using Motul 8100 X-Cess since first oil change in my car (at say 2000 miles). Don't have any problems with seals

I use Motul 8100+ 5w-40. Best oil I have ever used.
