Engine oil Shell or RED LINE

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.

I run the T6 in my 2.0T FSI.

Rotella T6 5w-40 is a great Diesel full synthetic.

Another vote for the Shell Rotella 15w-40. I run it year round in my Rabbit.

I use Shell Rotella 15W40. It is C grade oil specifically for diesel engines.

This is a 2009 GTI, just over 27k miles on the car, and 10,000 miles on Rotella T6. Car is tuned APR stage 1 93 octane, and has a Carbonio intake. I had some concern that maybe I didn't oil the air filter enough, and it looks like that is verified with the high silicon.

Just changed my oil @ 2k with Rotella T6. Sounds much quitters and feels a lot smoother. I've always used this and it's a damn good oil.
