I think you will find out Castrol EDGE® Euro Car 5W-40 A3/B4 Full Synthetic is a better all around oil then and oil I’ve owned Volkswagen all my life and that’s all I’ve ever run in my vehicles never had a problem and if you want to run the 10,000 miles between oil changes this oil will handle it

Pros: handles 10,000 mile changes
Cons: none
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km

OEM Subaru Engine oil

Well, some manufacturers do have way shorter oil change intervals than Euro manufacturers. The Subaru severe driving interval is 3000miles/6 months, and I do lots of short trips in a desert climate so I usually try to be around 3-4000 to stay on the safe side for warranty and whatnot.

Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 4828 km

Castrol Engine oil

I use Castrol GTX full-synthetic 10W-40, as I live in Texas where the average temperature is hotter than the rest of the US and oil weather varies drastically. During the summer, I've considered bumping up to 15w-40 due to how hot my startup temps are on a "cold start".

Pros: full-synthetic, good lubrication
Cons: expensive, needs frequent changes

I’ve always used castrol edge on my old cars, and the oil comes out cleaner every time I do an oil change. That’s been my experience

Pros: oil comes out cleaner

Change my e90 n52 every 15k, castrol titanium 10w-40. blackstone reports confirm the oil still meets spec with plenty of detergents left. Showing no signs of wear at 170k.

Pros: meets spec, no wear
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 15000 km

have used Castrol 5w-40 as VW calls for and change at 5000 mile intervals. Now at 129K, it still uses one or two quarts between changes and performs as well or better than new.

Pros: performs better than new
Cons: uses one or two quarts
Mileage: 8047 km
Part number: 5W40
