In my e39 M54B30 473k km I am dumping Castrol Magnatec 5w-40.
Nothing to complain.
I use castrol 5w-40 Euro on my 2006 Revup. Good oil pressure on hot SoCal days and burns less oil.
I have an MX-5 with that engine, Mazda uses Castrol Edge 0w20 but you can use a heavier oil and sime say it reduces wear. The purpose of the 20 weight is fuel economy.
I live in Turkey vw service uses Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL
So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.
10w-30 FS castrol edge is what I use and I'll add Lucas oil full stabilizer to it and she loves it:')
It’s fine. I stick to the Castrol Euro as it’s readily available.
I use castrol as I’m Canadian and the price to get liquimoly is unacceptably expensive imo. But if you can get it at a decent price I’d go with that.
Castrol is fine. It’s literally the manufacture recommended brand
I'm using Castrol GTX 20W50 because it's the only 20W50 that I can easily find locally. I tried Rotella 15W40 but I found that it gave somewhat low oil pressure on my old engine.
