Engine oil Castrol or OEM Audi

I use the blue bottle 5w-40 on my 2.5 Mk5 Rabbit.

Runs quieter than when i used Castrol High Mileage.

About $22 for 5 Qts. of Castrol (you can buy it on Amazon or at Walmart for a decent price). Filter is about $4.00 or more if you buy a premium filter.

Germany, 320d, 2008, 280000km, Castrol Edge 5w-30. Every 15000km

Castrol high mileage 5w-30 every 3 to 5k

Any other oil I have tried made my lifter tick super loud in cold weather

I use Castrol Edge 0W-40 in my '08 328, N52. Based on used oil analysis from Blackstone Labs, I'm at a 6K mile change interval.

The OEM oil filter worked well to keep insolubles low, and after 8,570 miles on this fill of Castrol High Mileage, the 2.8 TBN shows the oil had active additive to spare.

Castrol Europeans 0W40 is my typical go-to but Mobil-1 is great, get whichever is cheaper.

Personally on my half million mile M54 E46 I use Castrol edge high mileage 5W-30 with a ok filter; mobile one or the stp extended life filter as those two typically come with the red o rings which tend to last much longer than the black ones.

I use the Castrol 10w50 that the dealer gives me for my 18 RS. I have clutch slip issues and it seems to keep it mostly under control vs Motul 7100 or 300V

Car has been at the stealership for three weeks. Same transmission TC seal leak. Bolts and seals also needed replacing. Car is 45 days old with 4K KM’s.
