Engine oil Pentosin or OEM Volkswagen

I have a 08 2.5 Been using Pentosin 5w-40 so far so good

5w40 pentosin vw 502.00+ oil. Hasn't let me down in any of my motors yet!

Thanks for selling me the last two bottles of Pentosin!

Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.

i run 0w30 in my jetta 2.0. fully synth. have for 33,000 miles, no problems, other then better gas mileage

Pentosin High Performance is the right one to use. 5w-40 Pento High Performance 5W-40 is an especially formulated fuel economy engine oil. It is based on synthetic base oils only, the most modern and best engine oil additives currently available and a very shear stable VI - Improver. The combination of these exquisite components guarantees an excellent engine performance under the most severe driving conditions. Pento High Performance 5W-40 is ideally suited as an all season engine oil. Pento High Performance 5W-40 contains a special combination of very efficient fric-tion modifiers which cause the engine to run very smoothly. Even more important, it causes fuel savings in a recognizable way.

I would stick with oils like PENTOSIN/LUBRO-MOLY/CASTROL GERMAN/MOTUL/ This one is easy. Anything not made in the US and is 100% synthetic. I use Pentosin high performance 5w-40, 502/501/500 approved oil.

pentosin/pentosynth 5W40 here, changed it 1K miles ago (second run on this oil), great stuff ecstuning.com sell it for ~28 bucks for 5 liter. I like it much, much more over the castrol from dealership (used that too and after 2K miles changed back to pentsynth). I'm very happy with it.

We had 50700 VW spec oil in for 4,000 miles on the oil and 4,700 miles on the engine. The iron wear rate was about 15 ppm/1000 miles. The Longlife III oil did have impressive viscosity holding charictaristics. I did not care for the way the oil film of the 50700 wetted surfaces, it fisheyed on plastics.

Hmm... I just took the car in for its MoT and although it passed, they noticed that the exhaust was smoky and that oil level had been overfilled. The oil was last changed at the car's 40,000 mile service by the same VW dealer and on the invoice they've listed 9 litres of oil.
