Engine oil Castrol or FUCHS

any oil that meets the LL-01 standard will do, buy whatever is on sale. Castrol Edge Euro 5w30 is fine, Mobil 1 euro synthetic, whatever.

My conclusion was to use the best Castrol in the gold bottle. Of course, YOU must use the specification of weight recommended by the owners manual for the temperature range you expect to be operating in.

The gallon of Castrol is the same whether you buy it at CT or Napa.

Personally I always run Castrol and it's done me well, even in older cars that had been a bit battered.

Been using the molygen one, noticed a small reduction of oil consumption and better idling than Castrol (VW recommended)

I use the blue bottle 5w-40 on my 2.5 Mk5 Rabbit.

Runs quieter than when i used Castrol High Mileage.

About $22 for 5 Qts. of Castrol (you can buy it on Amazon or at Walmart for a decent price). Filter is about $4.00 or more if you buy a premium filter.

Germany, 320d, 2008, 280000km, Castrol Edge 5w-30. Every 15000km

Castrol Power 1 isn't a bad oil, but I'd say not the best either. I have only used LiquiMoly as an alternative, so far and I rate is better than the Castrol but it did cost almost 2x as much too.

I will never use castrol again, stupid dark bottle is annoying and makes it hard to tell how much is left
