Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Volkswagen

I use Valvoline XLIII and it works great and not terribly expensive.

Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.

Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.

I've been using Valvoline #VV966 VW502-approved full synthetic 5W40 MST on our Audi and the GSW. Works well, no issues.

Once the oil temp reads the temp number, you're all set to do what you please.

I run Valvoline simply because when I got my Civic people recommended it. Hasn't given me any troubles yet even in my Miata.

For my Ford I use motorcraft because it's oem.

For my high mileage Honda I've been experimenting with how the oil "looks" after a change. I know it's not technical but the valvoline oil seems to hold up well.

I've used Mobil1 many times but my last oil change I decided to use Valvoline 5W-40 MST SynPower which is actually on the list as a 502.00 oil.

Valvoline full synthetic 0W-20 changed every 5k, oil filters I prefer oem but recently it’s been whatever is on sale at advanced auto

Just changed oil today (same oil as above) at 104,728 miles. Purrs like a kitten.
