I use Castrol for my 05 320 cdi. It meets the extended service oil spec, but I run it as "regular" oil.

Pros: meets extended service spec

I'm a Castrol syntec guy and I like Kirkland oil. So that's what my cars get.

I’m stupid and like Castrol. Is it any better than the Walmart 5w30 synthetic? No. It just usually comes with a filter if I buy it with a coupon.

Pros: comes with filter

Cons: not better than Walmart

Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.

Cons: oil pan bone dry

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 126350 km
