Re: What oil and filters do you run?
Engine: 24V VR6
Brand: Valvoline Synthetic or Mobile 1, probably going to use Elf next change
Weight: 5W-40, or 0w-40, might try 5w-50 next summer
Oil Filter: OEM
Change Interval: 3500-7500, depending on usage. A sample from each change goes to Blackstone Labs for analysis
Miles: ~49500
Renn, that Rabbit engine must be pretty tight if you can get away with 10-30 in the summer. Both my Rabbit and my 16v GTI needed 20-50 to keep the pressure up when it got hot, both had well over 100k on the engine.
