Hey folks, happy Sunday. Coming up on an oil change on my 2019 VW Jetta GLI and had a couple questions. Recently I had the car tuned with Integrated Engineering, on their Stage 1, High Torque tune. I also had the DSG tune done. This MY was one of the first of VW calling for 0w20 instead of a...

Happened to come across Napa’s house brand Euro 5w40 today, normally $8.99 but for whatever reason one store near me was selling it at $4.28/quart, so I bought all they had, will be changing out for it tomorrow in my Jetta. The back of the bottle says something along the lines of “Designed by...

Alright, to get it out of the way, I know this oil isn’t approved for any Euro application outside of many some select diesels. What’s the consensus on how T6 would do in say, a VW or BMW application? My biggest reason for asking is I used to be a Subaru owner, and most Subie guys seem to...

So, the gf gifted me with a gift card to ECS Tuning for our anniversary a few weeks ago, and I realized today how close I am on an oil change, so I'm planning to use it on that. There's been a couple varieties of Liqui Moly I've been wanting to try out but I'm unsure of which to pick, or what...

Found this Mobil Full Synthetic on sale at Autozone ($15 5qt, $4 singles) so I picked some up for my Taurus. What exactly is it? It’s not Mobil 1, it’s not Super, I’ve never noticed it before. Decent stuff? Thank you!

Okay, been deep down the rabbit hole of "boutique" vs normal euro oils and have compiled a list that I want to try out, as well as post UOA's after the fact. I'll post my list below, which one should I give a go first? Many of these are purposely less common. •Liqui Moly Molygen 5w40 •Liqui...

Alot of people seem to be very happy with Mobil 1 ESP over the usual Mobil 1 0w40 Euro, Castrol 5w40 Euro, etc. I know its a 504/507 Spec oil that is technically backwards compatible with 502, but my question is, is there any reason to not run it? Engines in question are all EA888 Gen 3 engines...

I've been noticing in recent VOA's of Mobil 1 Euro, Leichlauf, etc. that the 0w40/5w40 oils have been on what seems like the thinner side, almost closer to a 30w. We know that VW 502.00 covers multiple 30w and 40w oils, however my tuner suggests a 40w with the tune and turbo setup on 2 of my...

So, I maintain 3 Volkswagen vehicles that are all Turbo Direct Injection engines. a 2015 Jetta 1.8T, a 2018 Golf R 2.0T, and a 2015 GTI 2.0T. All 3 vehicles are on aftermarket tuning software, and the Golf R does have a larger turbo and does see the occasional track day. Until recently I wasn't...

While browsing Walmart today I noticed Castrol has a new (to me, at least) line of Edge oil, label Edge Euro Car. Only saw it in 5w40, but they still also carried the Edge European Formula in 0w40. Both meet the VW and MB spec that I need, im just wondering if the Euro Car (brown bottle) line is...

Hey all, Im going to try and keep this short. Vehicle in question is my mothers 2011 Ford Taurus Limited. About 3 months/3000 miles ago, myself and my father replaced the following suspension components- Lower Control Arms - Mevotech Sway Bar Links - Moog Front Struts - KYB Tie Rod Ends -...

Afternoon all. I realized today that, after years of browsing BITOG and testing different oils for different applications, I've become set in my ways as far as whats used. Amsoil XL goes in my 2011 Taurus, Amsoil Euro Classic goes in my 2015 Jetta, and Schaeffers 5w40 OTR Diesel oil goes in my...

Hey everyone! First post on this account, I was a longtime member here a long time ago, however that account seems to have been lost and not recoverable. Anyway, even though I'm very well versed in oil, trans fluid is a different story. I hhave a 2015 VW Jetta with the 1.8T and Aisin 09G...
