Engine oil RED LINE or AMSOIL
I've been told the magic elixir for the VR is 20w50 Amsoil Not sure I can verify that just yet but my VR is a bit quieter with it since I added it
I used Amsoil 0W-30 Severe service oil in my Jetta 1.8T for the first 120k miles or so. No problems, mostly 5-7k oil changes except when I was commuting from Ct to Boston.
Amsoil made the engine idle much smoother than any of the other oils have but every oil I've used but Mobil has been good as far as life and burn-off goes.
I've been using amsoil for the past 2 oil changes. No complaints, car seems to idle a little better and cold start sooner.
I also started using it in my bike after switching from Mobile 1, and it's the best thing I've experienced so far with the wet clutch, keeping the shifting very smooth.
X2 on the Redline. I use this and i'm very happy with it.
They also have a race blend for better protection.
I just changed the oil in my car and I used Amsoil 5w40 European blend. No complaints so far.
I wouldn't use anything other than Amsoil I recently purchased some to change my R's oil soon.
With Red Line you really have to look beyond the grade on the bottle. They will always recommend the thinnest kinematic viscosity oil because they have such a high HTHS.
