Engine oil Castrol or OEM Volkswagen

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

Have also used castrol once on my alltrack and I use castrol in all the cars I work on/ take care of at home and never had a problem with it.

I've used Castrol in all my VWs and have never had any issue.

Part number for the oil: G055512A2 $14 (x2) O-ring: N90362001 $4 (x2) Paid ~$38 total Yeah my dealer is about 40 minutes away so I bought two in case I want to order oil in the future and do this again sometime...or if it leaks for some reason and I have to drain/refill, I just didn't want to drive back.

I always use Castrol on both my Honda and Volkswagen.

I've tried most of them. I went like 2 years doing all sorts of testing on my car and never noticed a difference. I stick with good old Castrol Edge like the factory recommends.

Hmm... I just took the car in for its MoT and although it passed, they noticed that the exhaust was smoky and that oil level had been overfilled. The oil was last changed at the car's 40,000 mile service by the same VW dealer and on the invoice they've listed 9 litres of oil.
