    Motor Oil recommendation for B9 SQ5 and 2019 Jetta VW

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    With Audi care going to end this year for me and want to perform my own oil changes on the SQ and wife's 2019 Jetta SEL Premium (could be soon replaced with the RSQ3 or the Q7) regardless, I'm looking for a 5W30 motor oil that would be the best option for both.

    I heard a lot of people are using the Liquid Moly oils? is this the best option for the SQ? also looks like Mobile 1 is the best overall rated oil. when VW recommends Castor Oils i want to get the best oil i can for it and use the same on the Jetta for convince.

    What do you all use and recommend?
    Prestige B9 SQ5 / Moonlight Blue / S sport / DAP / Dynamic Steering

    JB4 Tuner / ROC-Euro Intake / Lowering Links / 034 Trans Insert / V-FF 109
    / Brembo GT 380mm / AWE Exhaust /

    LiquiMoly, Castor, and Mobile 1 are all fine, full-synthetic lubricants. Use whichever of these is most convenient for you to obtain.

    Castrol is the factory fill and oil used at all VW/Audi dealers during service appointments. When Audi Care ended I used Mobil 1 Euro . Recently I changed over to Shell Rotella.


    What is your favorite beer?

    Mobil 1 Euro formula (my choice) is approved by Audi/VW. Castrol Edge is also. Both are full synthetic.

    Shell Rotella T-6 (full synthetic) is technically a diesel oil for direct injection turbo diesel engines. However, it has a huge following in high performance modified turbo auto applications. The Subie and Mazdaspeed guys love it. Worked great in my Mazdaspeed 3 for ten years. Don't know if any high output Audi turbo cars are running it, though.

    I usually buy the oil change kits off of ECS or FCPEuro since they include the oil/filter/new drain plug & washer for a great price. Only have used LiquiMoly in my prev. A4 and will be doing the same on the Q5. Never burned any oil or had any issues with LiquiMoly and Mann filters.
