Reviews of Castrol engine oil

The 0-20 Castrol VW Spec oil I buy from my dealer is cheaper than any 0-20 from Walmart or auto parts stores. My 2019 GSW has 16,000 miles and uses next to no oil between changes. I have averaged over 40 mpg for the 16K miles.

When it comes to oil I have one thing to say. Use Valvoline or Castrol 3000 for conventional 5 to 7000 for synthetic,. If you do this and take good care of your vehicle your car will go 200,000 to 300,000 miles.

I use Castrol EDGE Fully synthetic oil in my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv. It does burn a little but I did not have any issues.

I happen to use Castrol in all my gasoline powered vehicles and have had no oil related issues. Given that VW promoted Castrol and, more importantly, that I prefer Castrol in general, I’m staying with Castrol when I can... I've had no oil loss in the Tig with Castrol and see no reason to switch to a different brand just because some MBAhole behind a desk made a profit driven decision to switch suppliers.

I use 15w40 GTX Diesel Castrol oil, it works.

My 10k UOAs on Castrol 5w40 were just fine, but VW 504 is mid-saps so it might not have as much staying power even thought it's "better" oil.

Our Tig is coming up on it's 4th change (every 5K) and hasn't lost any significant amount between changes. So far all changes have been the 508 spec Castrol 0w20.

I really like Castrol oil. I used the VW High Performance twice, and it was fine, but I still preferred Castrol.

The approach to go with 10W40 is absolutely right - from my experience the best oil for that kind of engines! Take an expensive Castrol Magnatec Oil and it runs well.

Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.
