Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Passat

2014 VW Passat 1.8TSI engine. 249k miles. Did the recommended oil change at every 10k until 125, then every 5 k. Transmission fluid change every 80k, looking back, will switch to 60k, just to be safe.

my 2017 Passat got totaled in a accident this week, was at 205062 miles running strong off Liqui Molygen 5w-40.

Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200. I buy it from FCP and return my used oil in the same container and get 100% of my money refunded through their lifetime warranty program.

I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.

I’ve been using top tech 4200 for years in my CKRA passat and swear by it. No issues at all currently at 175k miles

Used to go with Mobil 1 ESP for my Passat, but after discovering idParts.com, I now only run Liqui Moly as it was cheaper for me to buy an oil change kit on their website than it was to run to my auto parts store

The 5w30 or 0w30 is perfectly fine. Since I live in the US Midwest I’m going to start just running 0w30 liqui moly year round

Mobil 1 0w20 ESP. Advance Auto and some Walmarts have it.

Mannol ist okay. Denke wenn man es regelmäßig wechselt, auch vor dem offiziellen Intervall, dann ist es nicht schlechter als Markenöl. Hab sogar damit besser Erfahrungen gemcaht als mit Liqui Moly, Castrol oder Shell helix.

I recently changed the oil in a diesel Passat (150,000 kms) which had Castrol Edge put in 12,000 kms ago during the last service by a VW dealer. I have changed many oils in VW diesels and found the Castrol oil that came out to be the dirtiest, sticky, staining and sort of gritty oil ever.
