I always use Castrol, good quality oil won't hurt the engine and is just slightly more expensive than off-brands.
Motul 4T 7100 10w40.
Engine works like a charm, gearbox changes gears effortlessly and the oil smells nice as a bonus.
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.
I’m in MD and use Motul 5w30 X-clean EFE
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.
Motul Xclean. I've read on this that Motul Xcess on FA20 makes more carbon buildup on Piston
