Engine oil Castrol or ELF

I run Castrol Edge in mine, the spec exceeds API SN PLUS/SP and ILSAC GF-6, coupled with a genuine hyundai filter

I use Castrol as it’s the OEM product and is cheap if you buy direct from Ford.

My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.

I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!

300.000km - oil: Castrol Edge 5W-30 and a new vortex breather - without oil consumption

315.000km - oil: fuchs titan 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption

330.000km - oil: mannol 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption

345.000km - oil: eneos 5W-30 and a filter type breather - without oil consumption

I have been told the same by Blackstone on my cars, though I still do it once a year given the cost is <$75. However, I do follow their advice on intervals, after once being a 5,000 mile interval guy. On all three of our cars, using Castrol Edge 5W-20, I've repeatedly gotten analysis that tells me that, at 7,500-10,000 miles, the oil is still performing as intended.

I've had good luck with Castrol for several years in two WRXs.

If your interval is 30,000km / 20k mi (2Y) then you should use the higher spec VW 503 / 504 (left page) if you have the 15,000km / 10k mi (1Y) interval then you can use the lower grade VW 501 / 502 oil on the right page.

Smedia had a video about this and he had more wear with less miles using Motul over Castrol in a Blackstone report. So for me just the convenience and price of Castrol edge I'd pick it over Motul. Knowing it had less wear wear was the nail in the coffin of buying overpriced and often several year old Motul.

Car has been at the stealership for three weeks. Same transmission TC seal leak. Bolts and seals also needed replacing. Car is 45 days old with 4K KM’s.
