amsoil

I use AMSOIL full synthetic 5w-30 high performance motor oil in my 98 2.0 beetle. It runs real nice and should last at least 7500 miles or more if you change the filter every once in a while. It costs about 6.50 a quart i think, but only the best for my bug .

 

Red Line 5w-40 full synthetic oil changed every 15K miles.
Shows low wear metels, and good soot suspension. Hard to beat at $5.75 per quart, considering how long it is used.

 

I use Mobil-1 0w40

 

I use Luber Molly 5W40 full Syntheic changed every 10K

 

I use Mobil 1 extended performance 15w50. I just did my forst change since i started using it (after 14,200 miles) and it was BLACK. But it did go for 15k, like the commercials said.

 

Please don't hate me, but I use whatever the VW dealer puts in it. I get my oil changed twice a year because I hardly put any miles on my car anymore!

 

oil

i use 5/30 in the winter and 10/30 or 10/40 in the summer

 

I use Olive Oil :screwy:

 

I use Olive Oil :screwy:

I heard Olive Oil is really good for the engine

 

I use regular Castrol GTX 10W-40. 74,000 miles and uses no oil in between changes (every 3000 miles). I use a Bosch filter. Total cost of oil change: $12.50.

 

oh my...

 

I use Mobil-1 Extended Performance Fully Synthetic 5w30. Still burns a little bit of oil.

 

I use the synthetic Mobil 0w-40, i switched to that from what ever the dealer puts in, which i think is castro gtx and the car ran by far way quieter. Sounded like a new motor.

 

I use Mobile 1 delvac 15w40 syntheic for diesel engines.

 

We use AMSOIL, 5w 40.

Hi,

When I had the VW Dealer Change the Oil in My 2000 New Beetle At 57,590,I used full synthetic, as I Do not know what the other owner had used. My VW Dealer was running a special then, so I Am going to stay with full synthetic, on all my oil changes.

Mobil 1 0W40 synth with Mobil 1 filter every 5k miles...no oil burning issues at all.

 

Hey ya'll...

man I hope I'm not the only one using this but I use Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic 5w-30. I have just over 100K on my car and that seems to last a little longer and run better in between oil changes every 5-6K miles.

On another note.... Has anyone else had to replace the tube that holds the oil dipstick? Mine cracked and crumbled and so the dipstick sank, so when I would check my oil it would read above the line. It was about $15 from the dealer but still.... cheap brittle plastic. Why cant they make car parts like they use to? a little longer lasting!

I plan on doing so as soon as i get to the stealership to get one. Right now i have a garden hose stuck on there thats cut to the same length so the reading is accurate. The guy at the last oil change place called me a "Gerry-Rigger".

I'll let you know how it works out.



As far as oil type, I use whichever castrol synthetic blend Midas uses. It's a 5W-30, i know that for sure.

I don't change my own oil yet because bringing up some ramps and an oil pan isn't practicable yet (being in college and all), so i haven't bought them yet.

Once i do, i'm goin Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. I've heard too many good things about it not to.

STEALERSHIP.... i like that!!!

What's a gerry-rigger? is that because you mickey moused your dipstick holder tube? haha... good idea though. Wish I woulda thought of that..... then again wish VOLKSWAGEN would have thought to use better material from which to make its car parts rather than cheap
P L A S T I C !! grrr...

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic huh? i've heard about that a couple of times. You think that's good for higher mile engines too? i have about 102.5 K miles now.

Which reminds me.. I need an oil change... I'm glad I learned to do it myself banana:my daddy taught me... and i'm a girl:clap now I just need to decide wether I want to get dirty or pay someone else to get dirty for me.... hmm.... decisions... decisions!
