OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.

Pros: stellar report at 12,228
Cons: higher wear metals
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 12228 km

I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.

Pros: regular oil changes
Cons: 3.6 is lethargic
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 8046 km

I've added only one quart of oil to all the VWs I have owned over the past 35 years. I check the oil every 3 months, and get the oil and filter changed annually. I don't think that modern engines consume oil, at least, not for the first 100K miles of their life.

Pros: minimal oil consumption
Mileage: 160934 km

Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.

Pros: inexpensive filter
Cons: expensive oil
