OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Part number for the oil: G055512A2 $14 (x2) O-ring: N90362001 $4 (x2) Paid ~$38 total Yeah my dealer is about 40 minutes away so I bought two in case I want to order oil in the future and do this again sometime...or if it leaks for some reason and I have to drain/refill, I just didn't want to drive back.

Pros: bought extra o-rings
Part number: G055512A2

From the 21 Camry owners manual: “SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-16 is not available, 0W-20 oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with 0W-16 at the next oil change.”

Pros: good fuel economy

I suggest you to use 5W40. I have a Toyota Auris and i change them every 7.500km without filter change and at 15.000 km with filter change. In my city at summer the temperature is about 40°C on summer and I have 257.000 km. I haven't any problems till now. My engine running smooth and never burned oil.

Pros: engine running smooth
Cons: no filter change sometimes
Vehicle: Toyota Auris
Mileage: 257000 km

The oil spec for the 1.8L engine in my 2019 Golf Sportwagen S 4motion is 502.00 (5W40). After my last oil change at the dealer I questioned whether they used the correct oil because the service ticket was written up wrong. The dealer supplied these photos to show how the different grades of oil are actually different colors. The oil on my dipstick was caramel colored, so I knew it was the correct grade for my car after all.

Pros: correct grade for car
Cons: service ticket was wrong

I plan to run Toyota oil in my rav4. In the past, I would have never considered running OEM oil and I would tell most people it's a waste of money to do that. However, I've seen a few reports showing Toyota 0w-16 as having more than 700ppm of molybdenum in it, and it isn't from assembly lube used when putting the engines together.

Pros: high molybdenum content
Vehicle: Toyota

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

Pros: TBN still okay
Cons: aluminum and copper high
Mileage: 9979 km

My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.

Cons: caused pre-ignition, destroyed sparkplugs
Mileage: 146000 km
