Engine oil RED LINE or OEM Volkswagen

RED LINE Engine oil

I’ve used Motul, LiquiMoly, Molygen, and Redline 5w40. Oil analysis was best with the Redline, but it’s pricey…although worth the better numbers IMO.

Pros: better numbers
Cons: pricey
Mileage: 178260 km

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

RED LINE Engine oil

I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.

Pros: low oil consumption
Cons: burns oil otherwise
Vehicle: MINI Countryman
Mileage: 2000 km

Get the Redline 5W-30…you won’t be disappointed. I was floored by how much better my Z performed with this oil. I’ll never use anything else.

Pros: better performance
Cons: none
Vehicle: Nissan

After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.

Pros: identified incorrect oil
Cons: incorrect oil used
Part number: G-E60-020-1B-DSP
