Engine oil Castrol or IDEMITSU

Everything I've found for my 2008 Rabbit 2.5L engine specifies Euro 5W/40. Although you can find it in several brands, the best price I've found is the Castrol Edge Euro 5W/40 at Walmart for the 5-quart jug.

FWIW: I live in Maryland and use Castrol Syntec 5w-40 in my 2012 JSW 2.5. I usually buy the filter and plug/washer from the dealer because they have the best price and I don't have to wait or pay for shipping.

I use castrol in my 2014 cx5.

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.

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.

Not certain what Castrol makes for a synthetic, but I know I experienced white foamy build up on my oil cap on a previous vehicle using Castrol. Switched oil and it stopped.
