Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL
for the ow-30 im guessing your talking about german castrol. thats what im using right now and it works well
IMO most anything is better than Castrol!
All of the 8100 series Motul oils are ester based. I will only run the x-cess 8100 5w40 in my GTI.
I have been using Castrol 0W30 European Formula all year round and it offers great protection in the coldest cold and the Highest Humid Heat. I used to use Mobil One 0W40 but it seems my car likes the Castrol 0W30 better since it runs smoother and gets a tad better gas mileage.
i have run 300v in my engine since 2005 when it was first built no seal issues
I run Motul in both my 8 valves, 5w40 year round, it's awesome stuff.
Switch to Motul and hear the difference.
I don't know what all you others guys are doing but I run 5w40 full synthetic Motul. Best stuff... the people who said they seem to burn oil should try 5w40 synthetic, many people have shown improvements with it. I run it to 10,000 kms or 6K miles and the stuff still looks good.
I used to use Esther based Motul products and have nothing but good things to say. I've since switched to Lubro Moly since it's easier to get locally and is cheaper.
i use castrol 5w30 syntec edge. advanced full synthetic.
