Engine oil Castrol or OEM Volkswagen

I would recommend the Castro Edge PROFESSIONAL 0w-20. Been using it in my wife’s LR4 since we got it and it was the consensus on best oil when I first did my research. It’s a little pricey but we’ve had zero engine issues with this.

we run castrol edge in our ‘04 FXT.

My rotary expert in north Texas recommended that I use 10-30 conventional oil. I personally prefer Castrol GTX

I use Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 on mine.

It’s thicker oil, so I feel like it gives the engine better protection. With 272k miles on it, I figured why not.

I’ve been running Castrol GTX 10w30 conventional in my 9000 Aero. Brought it to a Saab specialist and he recommended it. Need to have the valve seals redone and the oil is thick enough that it doesn’t get past the seals and no smoke. No issues running it. I change it every 3 months regardless of how far I’ve driven.

Good results with Castrol Edge Euro full synthetic. No issues. 138,000 miles, no oil consumption or smoke.

This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.

Castrol is great option if it is not fake, also make sure to change oil every 10000km (6200 miles). Those engines are bulletproof, should cause no issues

Currently using Castrol Edge 5w-40 fully synthetic, previously was using Estremo Heatpro 5w-40 FS, differences is so minimal to the point where you just neglect and forget about it....

Smoothness the same, silky smooth.

Car feels slightly like just slightly lighter on pickup with Castrol.

It is an oil from one of the lowest ranges of Castrol.

It is a 100% mineral oil, which is not good and therefore, in addition to greasing, cleaning and cooling less, it has a much shorter useful life, it needs more frequent changes, it is an oil how little/nothing is worth it for a motorcycle whatever it is.
