Engine oil Castrol or OEM Volkswagen

Castrol Edge LL.

I personally use Castrol in all my vehicles, and if I buy used cars I preform an oil flush and start using castrol immediately.

In my 2020 A6 I had aral oil and it consumed 1l of oil in 15k km. Then I used castrol LL and now it does not consume a drop at all.

I like to use Castrol Edge Racing with the 278cc HPE2, made a big difference to running temps, top speed and effiviency.

I go for Castrol for BMW. Somehow this machine really likes it.

I’ve been using castrol edge euro 0w-40 for years and loved it. Seems to be discontinued, can’t find it anymore. That sucks, moving to mobil 1 euro 0w-40.

I run Castrol Power 1 in my KTM 350 4T. I'm just past 800 hrs with \~25hr oil changes. It meets the JASO specs my bike requires. I have not changed a clutch ever since I bought it at 280 hrs. I had the motor apart at 500hrs and the Nicasil bore coating was \*perfect\*. That was the last time I swapped out the piston.

5W40 Castrol

Any 5w30 that’s c2 or c3 rated will do, that said I’ve heard negative reviews around the quality of castrol so maybe spend just a little bit extra and get something mid range, I use Fuchs Titan GT1 FLEX C23 5w-30.

I recently changed the oil in a diesel Passat (150,000 kms) which had Castrol Edge put in 12,000 kms ago during the last service by a VW dealer. I have changed many oils in VW diesels and found the Castrol oil that came out to be the dirtiest, sticky, staining and sort of gritty oil ever.
