Engine oil Shell or Pentosin

Have used the T6 myself for years in assorted VW's and Volvos with reduced oil consumption as compared to the VW 504 oils.

It isnt either mentioned, but I have used the RotellaT6 with good results. I did this for my first oil change after I bought the car used. Not sure what the previous owner used, but the chains quieted down quite a bit.

Pentosin is pretty cheap and good quality, thats what Ive been using the past couple years.

Shell Rotella T for the win - get it cheap at your local Walmart in gallon jugs. Side note on collapsed lifters - ATF Type F, added to the oil and a 5-10 min idle cycle before you change the oil can really help clean them out for cheap. Note, ATF has a lot of cleaners in it, and is thin, DO NOT rev it...just let it idle. Worked awesome on my old Coupe GT 5 cyl with horrid lifters.

Mine doesn't use any, and it gets an italian tuneup every time I start it. Running Rotella T6 5w40

I have a 08 2.5 Been using Pentosin 5w-40 so far so good

Those engines do burn oil. Clogged PCV would be the first to eliminate. Go w/a HD 5w-40 like Rotella.

Try the Rotella 10w-30 T5. Thin oil may work better to free things up.

I always run rotella 15w-40 in my mk3 2.0 8v. No complaints and its cheap

I just did the 4th oil change (first non-dealer change) on our 40k mile Tiguan TSI and used Rotella T6. I use it in my stage 2 WRX and think it's fantastic, so why not in the TSI. Great oil overall.
