Engine oil Castrol or OEM Volkswagen

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".

I put castrol, engine sounds better to my liking, anyway make sure to check the user manual for the EXACT OIL CAPACITY AND TYPE

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

High mileage oils like Castrol edge have more detergents than other oils, not a marketing gimmick.

The oil spec for the 1.8L engine in my 2019 Golf Sportwagen S 4motion is 502.00 (5W40). After my last oil change at the dealer I questioned whether they used the correct oil because the service ticket was written up wrong. The dealer supplied these photos to show how the different grades of oil are actually different colors. The oil on my dipstick was caramel colored, so I knew it was the correct grade for my car after all.

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.

That PN is listed as genuine Volkswagen oil for your vehicle. You’re all good!

I just run castrol edge on mine. No issues.

I myself use Castrol Edge (in 0W20) for my GJ. But I add a bottle of Lubro Moly MoS2, for that added molybdenum (mimics OEM moly infused Mazda 0W20).

I've used both, M1 was quiter and yes it did burn a quater quart more in the same period.
