Engine oil Castrol or AMSOIL
For me at least, I use a 5w-30 Amsoil on my TLX Type S.
I ran this in my mk7 and my brother ran Castrol Edge Euro in his mk7. I have since sold mine but neither one of us had any type of engine/oil consumption issue and he still has with 130k on it.
Buy filters in bulk from RockAuto. Buy oil Castrol Euro Car from Walmart when it’s in sale.
Castrol. Bought twice from Amazon. Four litres for £19 the first time, £25 the second. Much cheaper than Halfords.
Normally Castrol racing 10w40, it's not expensive and not needed that often
You can use Amsoil just fine, one of the best oils on the market.
Cu Castrol Edge 10w40 am avut rezultate bune la TDI-ul euro 3 (ALH). Am inceput sa il folosesc (in varianta 5w30) si la TDCI euro 5 si sunt in continuare foarte multumit. Am avut surprize cu Aral (asta e recomandarea producatorului, dar e ceva poșirca nici macar full-sintetica) si cu un Ravenol mai de soi la ALH, a mancat ulei. Cand am revenit la Castrol nu a mai mancat.
I\u2019ve been running Amsoil signature 0w-20 in my FL5 for about 5k miles now. No track driving, just a mixture of city/highway. Some spirited pulls and rowing through the gears but mostly normal driving. Car is stock aside from PRL intake and custom tune. Had Blackstone do an oil analysis after the first 3k miles and all was well and below the average for all wear metals. I\u2019m in Florida so pretty hot climate overall. Very happy with the oil and will continue to use it at that viscosity
I just purchased their OE formula @ $8.99 a quart...my 2012 Camry, 2ARFE has 212k miles and started burning oil around 150K. I was using Mobil 1 since I ownWe'll, and I noticed I was topping it off every other week...Now, I'm waiting for the oil and see if this will clean up the oil control rings, ring landings, etc. I'll report back.
I recently changed the oil in a diesel Passat (150,000 kms) which had Castrol Edge put in 12,000 kms ago during the last service by a VW dealer. I have changed many oils in VW diesels and found the Castrol oil that came out to be the dirtiest, sticky, staining and sort of gritty oil ever.
