Engine oil Castrol or AMSOIL

I’ve personally ran amsoil in all of my vehicles, and haven’t been disappointed

I use Castrol Edge European Formula 0W40 for all of my VWs (2005 Phaeton, 2014 CC 3.6, 2017 Jetta SE and now a brand new 2019 Alltrack SE): I buy it from Amazon, for $ 24.47 for 5 qts. The oil has a "European Formula" label on the front and specifically states "VW 505. 00 and 502. 00 " on the back, and is made in Brussels, Belgium.

I got some Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W40 which is VW502 00 approved. I decided to try this oil as their name is on the oil filler cap, as in the past with other cars I always used Mobil 1 0W40.

Ran fine when I got it but I switched to amsoil and it has changed the sound of cold starts. MUCH QUIETER!! and seems to have smoothed out the idle over time.

Castrol Edge European formula 5W-30. Closest thing to group IV you can easily find in the states.

I switched from the lm to Castrol and it works as intended at a much more affordable cost.

I use 5w40 Castro’s European blend in my 06 e60 530xi and it seems like it does the job.

I used Castrol Edge 5w40 last oil change and the engine feels smooth and burns little to no oil.

I used Castrol GTX 10W-40 High mileage and never had issues.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Castrol Edge are probably the best all round oils.
