Rotella T6 is 5w-40 not 0w-40.

My VW burned through oil like crazy though.
Using good quality oil such as liquimoly or rotella t6 slowed down the consumption considerably though.

I bought new 2006 2.0t VW had it for 12 years. Wasn’t consuming any oil at all when I sold it with 130k. Wasn’t leaking either. Dry as a bone. I wish I can say the same about the BMWs I own lol

Educate yourself. Come in 0w-40 and 15w-40 too

I too had a 06 2.0T vw and it consumed oil at a good rate. Never out of spec which VW says is 1quart per 1000miles. Sold mine at 150k. It was more reliable than my bmw (engine accessories wise) but drank alot more oil. The only time my bmw drinks oil is when a gasket is leaking somewhere. Replace the gasket and it stays steady till the next leak arises 😂🙁

I do also. My 2008 N54 Doesn’t burn any oil between changes.

I'm at 110k miles and burn about 1/2-3/4 of a quart every 3000 miles

Is Rotella T6 BMW certified LL 01/04?

I'm using Castrol Edge, just wondering if it's worth switching at next oil change.

I have no idea. I do know that Blackstone Labs says the oil sample I sent them looks great....and to keep using it. So for now, T6 it is.

It is not but I've been running T6 for over 2 years now but I also do my oil changes every 5k.
