Engine oil PENNZOIL or Total

2010 Passat B6 with the 2.0T ea888 gen one engine. Different car, same engine. I run Pennzoil euro 0w40 in mine. 6-8k on the oil changes. Engine is quiet and smooth. 136k on it.

Just had my first oil analysis with penzoil platinum - black rock said I won’t need a change for around 5k miles with it

I've been running Pennzoil *Ultra* Platinum 5w-30 for the last 15k.

I use Madza OEM filter with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 every 8,000 km to 10,000 km.

I personally like the Pennzoil over the Idemitsu high moly oil but it's mostly due to being more available in my area.

I do think the Pennzoil is slightly better fuel economy wise and comes out cleaner than the high moly but this is probably a placebo than anything.

Honestly I wouldn't have the guts to run it for that long. I run Pennzoil full synthetic with a Purolator boss filter and I still do changes every 5000 miles.

Ran it for a few years in my 02 ALH with no issues.. supplied by my local VW certified (but not VW themselves) mechanics shop.

Pennzoil platinum high mileage full synthetic 5w-30. I work at a Toyota dealership and this is what we use and is recommended. It's flows well and has great wear protection. I used to use mobil 1 but this stuff is 10x better. If you do a little research it shows this stuff performs/flows better then most oils.

Pennzoil euro platinum LX 0W30 is the only readily available one that has the fiat/API approvals for the engine, advance auto usually has in stock at most locations.

I'm partial to Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 5w-30 based on UOA's at Bitog and other internet sources...

I’m using penz plat though I’ve only had my oil changed once (3500 on my OD) but so far so good. My oil temp stays around the 200 mark once fully warmed up and has been running very smoothly.
