I've been putting in Castrol Full Sythnetic 5W30 in my 2.8VR6 for 13 years and I've been told the engine is in great condition (264,000 km).
I run Castrol 5w40 in all my VWs. 2.0, 1,8T, and my mk7 2.0T all have used it and I've been happy with it.
Personally I buy exactly the factory oil, from a manafacturer that factory put in, in German cars it's Castrol, French are Total and Elf, Italians use Petronas Selenia.
This is the exact oil I use in my Honda metropolitan. I’ve put thousands of miles with the stuff and have no complaints. I’m a big fan of Motul.
Would recommend the motul 300v,been using it for a while now and it’s perfect
Order some Motul 5100 online. Good price for great oil.
I really like Motul. Used to use 300v it got expensive changing it so much. 7100 has a longer oil change interval and for all intents and purposes is just as good as 300v for street use
Motul 7100 seems to do the trick. Great for city riding and long trips, moderately high revs in the hills, etc.
My r53 loves Castrol 5w40 and Mann/Mahle filters.
Former BMW dealer employees have confirmed that the overpriced BMW oil is literally castrol edge.
