1.8t with rotella t6?

[Helcat17]

I'm new to vw but I have had turbo cars in the past and have had great luck with running rotella t6 in all o them and my cbr1000rr, I'm just trying to figure out if anyone had ran it in a 1.8t and what kinda luck they had

[Helcat17]

Also I am getting a cabrio next week I think an 01 2.0 does anyone have a good recommendation on an oil for that

[Helcat17]

How about adding Lucas oil treatment anybody have any experience with this is a good idea or a bad idea? I'm currently running mobile 1 0-40. Full synthetic

[BsickPassat]

Rotella T6 is fine for both engines.

Lucas Oil stablizer is a horrible idea. It has a tendency to aerate the oil, killing its properties.

[Helcat17]

Ok no Lucas, I can't seem to find the infamous 502 spec on the rotella is my only concern

[BsickPassat]

Ok no Lucas, I can't seem to find the infamous 502 spec on the rotella is my only concern

YOu're not going to find 502, 505.00/505/01,etc on Heavy Duty Diesel oils.

If you're that concerned, There 's Mobil 1 0w40 European Car Formula

No I'm not just want to make sure I'm not going to damage anything by running it like I said befor I'm new to vw im still learning the differences

You should be fine since RT6 also meets API SM specs. I agree to stay away from Lucas Oil Treatment. It's just an oil thickener with no beneficial additives.

Sweet that way all my vehicles with be running the same thing yea the only reason I was asking about Lucas is because it's kinda warm here and it seems on a hot day my oil press is a lil low when the oil is good an hot

+1 on the Rotella T6. been running it in my GTI with no complaints. It quieted everything down a little and its actually cheaper than most other synthetics.

[Helcat17]

Yea I love it in my bike and the other vehicles I have ran it in

[Big_Tom]

I personally run mobil 1, but i have only heard good things about rotella t6

[Helcat17]

Awesome I'm going to be changing mine over maybe this weekend so we shall see

[c0r3y.af]

Used to run Mobil1 and it was good, but I recently switched to the Rotella 5w40 and I absolutely love it. Definitely quieted things down a bit and it's fairly inexpensive. I highly recommend it to anyone with a 1.8t.

[wagonlove]

T6 is great! I run it in both my 1.8t Passat and my S4. Like others have said, it's pretty cheap...I think like $22 at walmart.

[Helcat17]

Well it's taking me longer to switch than I anticipated but the change will happen by Sunday but I'm doing a seafoam oil treatment now trying to brake up what ever may be stoping up my timing chain tensioner so just maybe I won't have to change it but I shall see

[gmikel]

you're fine with the rotella t6 as well as vag 502 oils. it's most important to change it regularly in a 1.8t and use the upgraded oil filter as it adds oil capacity (esp on a longitudenal motor), they're tight on a jetta but do fit..

[gmikel]

go to the beach and watch the wave crash, it will do almost as much good and is far more therapudic

[Helcat17]

Lol ok at the wave
