I use castrol 5w-40 Euro on my 2006 Revup. Good oil pressure on hot SoCal days and burns less oil.
I have an MX-5 with that engine, Mazda uses Castrol Edge 0w20 but you can use a heavier oil and sime say it reduces wear. The purpose of the 20 weight is fuel economy.
I run Amsoil in my 100% in my vehicles and lawn equipment. It’s synthetic, uniform, and has low volatility unlike petroleum based products. Less frequent oil changes.
I live in Turkey vw service uses Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL
Amsoil did pretty good, it beat out everyone else from that project farm oil series.
So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.
I use Amsoil 0W-20 508/509.
10w-30 FS castrol edge is what I use and I'll add Lucas oil full stabilizer to it and she loves it:')
It’s fine. I stick to the Castrol Euro as it’s readily available.
I use Amsoil. While not on the official VW list as an approved oil, it is never the less formulated to the VW spec.
