Reviews of Castrol engine oil

I went with the Castrol Edge 0w-40 because it's a great oil with a good PAO content. It's also fairly inexpensive. I'll sacrifice the rebate on Mobil 1 as this oil seems to hold up better for my driving style over 10k miles.

I typically use Castrol Edge 0W-40 at 5000 mile change intervals unless my annual service interval comes up at the dealership.

I personally use the Castrol 0W-40 that meets the VW 502 spec. Per the Bob is the Oil Guy forums, it’s one of the best oils out there and is available at a great price from Wal-Mart, at ~$25 per 5qt jug. I’d use this oil in any VW and not think twice.

I run German (Belgian) Castrol, which comes in a 0w-40 or 0w-30 weight. In general, it's better than the US spec stuff that sage149 posted because Europe has stricter oil standards than the US and it holds better certifications like MB229.5. I mainly run the 0w-40, and while I only have 13k miles, it does include 4 track days and the oil level doesn't change in between oil changes.

I use Castrol Edge 5W-40; works just fine

Glad to be of help helmyv5. In one message, I mentioned I'd try a more expensive oil next time. I've now been running Castrol EDGE FST-Ti for the last two oil change intervals. Normally, oils are very hard to tell apart from one another (Like how the engine sounds, gas mileage, other \"seat of the pants\" stuff) But, this time I can definitely spot one difference, which is noticeably less sludge in the PCV system than with the Helix Ultra.

Castrol Edge Professional 0W-20 seems to be the VAG recommended oil for their 508.00 requirements. Everything I’ve read about the 0w oil has been positive as it holds up extremely well in cold weather and severe heat.

I buy the Castrol Edge OE 5w30 that DAP sells and change the oil preemptively, always with VW brand filters. Has all the VW certs necessary, is what VW uses, and doesn't break the bank.

at 30K and third oil change @ 10K, my oil analysis went to the waste oil furnace, it said the oil was perfect. First change @10K was Castrol 0W40, last two were Mobil 1 0W40.

I'm running Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4 right now, but feel there is more startup noise than when using Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 European Formula.
