AMSOIL BABY, all the way. 10w30 Turbo oil and filter every 12,500 or 6 months whichever comes first. Out performs all other brands!

I've been using Amsoil on my '02 A4 1.8T. Converted it over as soon as I could b/c that little hamster gets hot during the long summers around here. Car doesn't burn a drop of oil, of coure it has only 29k on it.

Pros: car doesn't burn oil

Vehicle: Audi A4

Mileage: 29000 km

Another option is the Shell Rotella T synthetic 5w40. It's not a PAO base stock. But it's $13 a gallon, for cheaper oil changes.

Pros: cheaper oil changes

I change every 5,000 with Amsoil in my TDI. I like to change oil and keep tabs on everything under the car, so it's worth it to me.

Pros: keep tabs on everything

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 5000 km
