Engine oil Castrol or PENNZOIL

I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul depending on if I choose to order ahead of time or just do it when I feel like.

Pennzoil Platinum Ultra is also commonly used/recommended instead of the Motul and is cheaper.

I always use Penzoil Ultra Platinum and have never had an issue.

I’ve switched to Pennzoil and I’ve noticed I went from burning about ~1 quart between 5k mile changes to barely burning anything. It seems like my motor is a little happier with it based on it not making such a racket but that might just be confirmation bias

Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.

I use Redline but for a million years I used Mobil 1 car oil. Before that we used Castrol 20/50 petroleum oil

I always ran castrol gold motorcycle 20w50 on my Harley's.

Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.

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.

On the Gen 2 Prius that have been several reports of Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic consuming oil much quicker, me included.
