Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL

I'm trying Edge 5w-30 in my 2.0T TSI for a short run this winter. Shouldn't be in long enough to thin from fuel dillution. It seemed to work great in this 1.8t...

After a vigorous break-in and draining the factory fill oil at 1409 miles, added Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 and then drove on a 5000 mile vacation from Wisconsin to the Pacific Northwest and back.

From my experience, the 2.0T uses very little oil the first 5000 miles or so, and then starts using about a quart every 2000 miles or so until I change it. Note that I've had the best experience with Mobil1 0w40 and Castrol 5w40. When I use Castrol 0w30 European Blend, it tends to boil off fairly quickly. I haven't tried other oils yet.

My Blackstone Labs analysis reports always come back with great results for my Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40. I get an analysis of every single oil change. It's a great oil.

OK, then what works for me is Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Car Formula.

i drive a 95 jetta vr6 i currently running mobil 1 10w-40 but i been hearing alot of good things about this new castrol edge thinking about switching to the 5w-40....im hoping i feel a difference

i run 20/50 Castrol year round. it actually reduced the burning and smoking of oil on start up, unlike Mobil 1. i'm glad i switched over.

It seems 15w-40 is the standard diesel weight. I bought Castrol last time because it was on a good promo sale.... 5 quarts and filter for $5 (after rebate).

I recently swapped to German Castrol 0w30, it starts high 30 and stays high 30, so far, I've experienced no oil loss - but it's too early to say, but it makes sense.

I have been using it for about 15k km and two oil changes and have noticed allot less burn off compared to the dealer filled castrol 5w -40.
