I've been dreading asking this question. I've been searching around the forums, but there are a lot of acronyns and certifications used that I don't quite understand yet. I've seen this question asked before and the answer usually comes in "as long as its 502..."
I have a 2012 CC with 155,xxx miles on it. I've always used Liquimoly 5w30 because that was recommended to me when I first got it and I just did it without any research. When I first got the car I did the 10k service intervals, then I randomly started doing 5000 miles, now I'm down to 3000-4000 miles simply because I enjoy doing it and I just feel good knowing there is clean oil in the car.
I have a stage 1, 93 octane tune, and ca intake but I'm planning on going down the full bolt on list soon. (Midlife crisis)
Maybe it doesn't matter but the VW approved list is pretty long, surely there has to be an optimal oil for my situation? Performance and reliability are my goals, I'm not worried about the price.
You all seem way smarter than me about oil so just out of curiosity, what oil would you use?
