I prefer ultra platinum over mobil 1 since ultra is used with a group 3+ base oil, which has better heat handling than regular group 3 oil.

Pros: better heat handling

Preferred Castrol edge 0w-20 during the warranty period and 5w-30 after the warranty period. The engine is quieter with 5w-30.

Pros: quieter engine

The closest I found was Castrol? Long life 507 which was £40 for 5L from Amazon, but I had to buy the stuff direct from VW as was pushed for time for my oil change (with a friend).

Pros: Long life oil

Cons: expensive from dealer

Pennzoil is fine, definitely not the best though (my 9th Gen si burned a lot using it) if you can get Mobil 1 or Castrol l I’d go for them instead and use an oem filter.

Cons: burned a lot

Vehicle: Honda Civic
