2002 VW Jetta GLS 2.0 w/149K - 02J 5spd Manual Transmission
Changed on 4/6.
Out: Factory fill
In: Redline MT-90
So far, so good. Shifting is about the same, maybe slightly better.
Here is my thread. I had good results using GC in my 2.0T GTI. I liked GC so much, I'm now using it my N55 equipped 2011 BMW 335i.
My 2006 VW GTI 2.0T Oil Analysis
I figured I would post this up, just in case anyone was interested in seeing it. I can't wait to see how the next analysis looks at 5k miles, since I am now running Castrol Syntec Euro Formula 0W-30 (German Castrol).
The car "felt/ran" fine; always very smooth with consistent performance and MPG's. However, I plan to stick with 5K OCI's, since I don't put many miles on my car and this results in only needing 2 oil changes per year - one in the spring and one in the fall.
Like most people, I am very happy...
Here are the last 3 oil analysis I had done on my 2006 VW GTI 2.0T.
