Engine oil Castrol or IDEMITSU

Castrol Engine oil

Castrol Edge 5W-30 for me. I live in Vegas where it barely gets under 30 degrees in winter even so it's a better oil for the hot climate in live in

Pros: better oil for hot climate
Vehicle: Hyundai

5w-30 Castrol LongLife in mine in Europe. But often interchangeable, but always depending on what the manual says. Top thing though I’ve found after 120k miles in on a TSI is: keep it near top of dipstick to bypass chain and turbo issues (turbo especially relies on good oil supply). Listen for rattling chain and listen to turbo note, can often hear changes and usually due to lower oil level.

Pros: bypass chain and turbo issues
Cons: rattling chain, turbo issues
Mileage: 193121 km

I had a 2009 VW Rabbit, and I'd often buy Castrol Syntec (full synthetic). I haven't seen this 'Euro Car' formula, but it says it's full synthetic, so I think it would be fine.

Pros: full synthetic
Vehicle: Volkswagen

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.

Pros: developed for rotary engine
Cons: hard to find

En VW cuando surgió el problema de consumo de aceite en una partida de los 1.6 MSI (16V), primero habilitaron a que los clientes llevaran el aceite de su preferencia para los services y yo comencé a llevar el Castrol Edge 5W-40 Titanium FST, que sigo utilizando, salvo que el último service (no oficial), le pusieron el Castrol Edge 5W-40 sin el antifricción (bidón negro) y le agregue un Molikote antifricción, por la falta del antifricción en el aceite. Ya va por los 223.000 km sin consumo de aceite, ni pérdida de potencia.

Pros: sin consumo de aceite
Cons: falta del antifricción
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 223000 km

I'm running Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4 right now, but feel there is more startup noise than when using Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 European Formula.

Cons: more startup noise
Part number: EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4
