Engine oil MOTUL or ROWE

I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.

I made myself the services, and used Motul 7100 10w50, I can feel the gearbox it's smoother.

Here is what IAG recommends

FA2ODIT (91 or 930ct) - Motul 5w30 8100 X-clean EFE, change oil every 2500-3000 miles

Motul 5w-40 8100 X-clean Gen2 may be used in climates where the average ambient temperature is above 80° fahrenheit. It is important to note that the oil used must carry the GM dexos 2 rating.

Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.

Motul 8100X-Clean for me, no problems!

I’ve been runnin Motul 7100 full syntetic for the last 15.000 km’s (9300 miles) never had an issue once.

I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.

The red Motul is amazing stuff!

Motul 4T 7100 10w40.

Engine works like a charm, gearbox changes gears effortlessly and the oil smells nice as a bonus.

I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00

I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.
