Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen

Pennzoil. I've run conventional, semi synthetic, and full synthetic. Nearly 200k miles, still kicking like a mule. 7500 mile oil changes on the reg, some to 9000. No signs of slowing down.

Pennzoil ultra platinum often goes on sale or has rebates, I'll stock up a couple years supply when it does.

0W-30 VW 504 spec Penzoil Euro Platinum is all I use in my MK7.5.

Pennzoil has been pretty good to me. Not pushy.

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.

That PN is listed as genuine Volkswagen oil for your vehicle. You’re all good!

I have a 16 with 110k miles and have consistently ran 5w-30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with no issues.

Pennzoil Platinum can be found for $26/5qt. and it’s certified to protect against LSPI. I’d suggest going that route if you’re trying to save some cash. I did and the car seems to love it.

I run Penzoil Euro Platinum 5W-40 because it's regularly on sale at Canadian Tire.

I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.
