Motul Specific 5w40. Also, LiquiMoly Leichtlauf is apparently amazing on these cars.
Cool. I emailed Motul and posted on another thread that they recommend the 8100 x-cess for our cars. I am looking into the penzoil platinum euro but leaning towards Motul x-cess due to the higher TBN and flashpoint.

Why not go with Motul 8100 5W-30 x-clean+? It's recommended as a long life. I don't believe that there are long life oils but oils which have more stability under stress. I used them since my first service at 8000km and since now (35700km) no problems at all. It fulfills the VW's 504 specs too (the 507 is for the diesels). I'm completely stock.
Good point. I was just posting what Motul recommends for the golf R straight from the horses mouth. I plan on doing 5000-7500 oil changes. I don't know if x-clean can hold up under the stress of revving the engine under a tune. I think the x-cess is ester based and designed to handle the performance engine. I will research more however though.
Hi just wondering what oil people run in their mk7 R's. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I am at a loss to decide .
