Engine oil PENNZOIL or RED LINE

Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.

I use Redline but it’s about the same price if not moreso.

Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.

As long as you get name brand oil at the weight your owner manual says you'll be good, I run penzoil in mine and she seems pretty happy with it

I use Redline 10w60.

Finally ended up with Penzoil Plat. Can't tell a difference at all when the oil is fresh. Also engine never burned oil on Penz.

I have been running Pennzoil platinum euro in my 16 GTI its entire life and its now at 125,000km. I ran the same oil in my 2007 GTI before I sold it up until 190,000km. Never had a single problem, neither cars burned any oil.

Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40. It’s LL01 approved

I used pennzoil platinum euro blend in my 2014 Veloster turbo for probably 50k+ Atleast with no trouble.

Engine was noisier with the mix vs. the previously used redline 5w40. Iron levels are up at 6.3 ppm/1000 miles Oil usage increased by 1/2 quart over the redline 5w40 TBN/TAN levels are worse than 5w40 at comparable mileage
