As far as the castrol goes I bought a used 2018 Kia soul that had a slight knock in the engine for ultra cheap and I was able to make that sound go completely away once I switched to Castrol edge. My vehicle also seamed to burn a lot less oil.
Jeez I feel like an outcast. I run Castrol 20-50 lol but the car loves it
O-w20 amsoil is top notch, expensive but worth it.
I might switch to liquimoly like a lot of ppl do but I’ve always stuck with the Castrol edge 5w-40, changing around 5k
I been using castrol 5w40 since I got the car new at 82 miles no issues. Sent my oil samples to blackstone for analysis and oil is really good even at 10k.
That's what the dealer and I use. Castrol 5W40
A few years ago Castrol decided to dye all their Magnatec oils green... it was pretty dark green as well.
I used to use German Castrol 0w20 in my Volvo and it was green too.
I use Amsoil in every vehicle with an engine that I own...this has not changed for 25 years. Amsoil is so good I'd pour it over pancakes if I ran out of syrup.
I spent ages today on the phone to numerous SEAT dealers, VW dealers, SEAT HQ, VW HQ, Castrol and Millers. The bottom line is total confusion everywhere. I rang 12 SEAT dealers - all but one (I'll come back to which one)said that VW 505.01 must be (and is)used.
