Is high sulfur ash and phosphorus good for high mileage or is less better?

[Violent Wyri]

So I have a 2017 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 turbo with just 84374 miles runs excellent and I wanted to know if high saps was better for higher mileage or if mid and low saps were much better options for this. I live in sunny California the weather doesn’t get too hot or too cold
FS stands for full saps, MS stands for mid saps, LS stands for low saps, btw

Those are not high miles.
I would run Amsoil 5W30 AEL.

What’s better tho full saps or mid or low saps?

Neither have anything to do with high mileage.

If you don't burn significant quantities of oil, then I would go full SAPS personally. There is no functional difference though since they all end up meeting the same wear tests I believe in A3/B4 and C3 and the OEM derivatives.

Which oil does Amsoil recommend for your vehicle? Use what @Pablo recommends. It will deliver.

You didn’t answer the question, and hence we can’t give you any meaningful feedback. I asked if Amsoil recommended a full, mid, or low SAPS oil for your vehicle, and you responded with a viscosity.

Amsoil recommends FS EFM 5W-40

You vehicle is VW502.00 which is XW30 or XW40 oil.
You can also use VW504.00/507.00. If I was going Amsoil in that engine, I would go as I told you 5W30 AEL.
