Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Volkswagen

I have to use high zinc oil, Valvoline VR1 is the only oil I can buy that has enough zinc.

I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.

I switched to Valvoline last oil changed and really like it. Feels more lively than when I changed it in the past (typically use dealer recommended Castro).

I use valvoline extended protection

This might be the best oil product of the century.. Valvoline Restore and Protect for gas motors.

Trying the Valvoline protect and restore and it's been great

I , personally, like Valvoline products. I've opened up engines just to see sludge built up from not changing your oil or using cheap oil and not changing it enough. I have found that engines that used Valvoline oil were much cleaner on the inside. After many miles. Compared to other brands.

I use Valvoline 10w-30 synthetic blend high mileage over full synthetic because it completely gets rid of the VVEL tick and adds more protection since it’s thicker and last longer since I love to redline ???? + k&n filter 1008 or 1010

I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "
