I use redline high performance 5w30 and I don’t burn a drop of oil even with 7500 mile intervals on my n54 powered 335is…With bmw synthetic my car would burn about a quart at 7500 miles.

Pros: no oil burn
Cons: bmw synthetic burns oil
Vehicle: BMW

With the redline, my car barely burns any oil, and significantly less is directed to my catch can. Night and day difference.

Pros: barely burns oil
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Redline 5w-40. 6k mile intervals. Probably much nicer than what my little GTI needs, but I like supporting local businesses and it's amazing oil.

Pros: amazing oil
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 6000 km

Redline recommended 10w-40 Full Synthetic for my 1.8 solid lifter JH turbo application and the tech guy suggested modern synthetics don't cause seal leakage (like OG synths of 25 years ago) and holds up way better than the 40w rating in hot temps and protects much better when cold than even the current crop of Castrol 20/50 dino oil I was running. I swapped over the M81 to the same Redline oil and have not yet noticed any new oil leaks yet.

Pros: no seal leakage, better hot/cold protection
Vehicle: Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

The oil spec for the 1.8L engine in my 2019 Golf Sportwagen S 4motion is 502.00 (5W40). After my last oil change at the dealer I questioned whether they used the correct oil because the service ticket was written up wrong. The dealer supplied these photos to show how the different grades of oil are actually different colors. The oil on my dipstick was caramel colored, so I knew it was the correct grade for my car after all.

Pros: correct grade for car
Cons: service ticket was wrong

Wife has a 2015 jetta with the 1.8t and burns 1L every 500 -700 miles. My 2016 a3 burns relatively nothing but maybe half a liter every oil change interval and has same engine.

Pros: burns relatively nothing
Cons: burns 1L every 500-700 miles

So when i changed the car to 10w40 redline I noticed that the car began to knock around 3-4k which it didn't do before and now it seems to slowly get worse.

Cons: car began to knock
