Engine oil RED LINE or MOTUL
I’ve been using the 300V , absolutely love the feeling of this oil but decided to switch since it’s a true race oil & the intervals needing very frequent changes. After only 1000 miles of street riding , I’ve tested the oil & it began to sheer from 18 cst @ 100c down to 15 cst @100c .
I been using Motul 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 Synthetic Oil and is working fine at the moment with OEM filter.
Motul x-clean plus. Less noise and softer engine run. I'm using it in all my TDI's and X5 35d.
Motul is cheaper than Petronas and it's a very good oil.
Best oil for me is Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 C3, or Liquil Moly. 5W-40 because I got more hot climate here (Greece).
I always used redline 5w50 on my S65 runs very well and redline has a great reputation of quality oil especially for its high performance cars. Takes less time to warm up too in low temperature climates.
I've run Redline in my '01 Golf & my '10 Touareg TDI's for Hundreds of thousands of miles. No worries!
I would recommend Motul.
I’ve got Motul Sport 5W30 for my MY12 XV, which ain’t a turbo ofcourse????
But next time I’ll go for sport 5W40, as it’s better for long driving in temperatures like 30(+) degrees Celsius outside.
The Sport range is by the way also good again low speed pre-ignition.
I am currently using Motul X clean EFE 5w30 using it because it was Tuner/shop recommended by Dmann/Felix Performance who did change for me prior to a tune/dyno and I haven't switched back.
Motul Xclean. I've read on this that Motul Xcess on FA20 makes more carbon buildup on Piston
