I use 5W40, Castrol Edge, has the 502/505 certification, if it doesn't don's use it. You can use the 0W40 European Formula as found at Walmart; is also 502 certified.. This is a good all-year 'round oil.

Pros: good all-year oil

Castrol Engine oil

Did another oil change today, and not a lot of consumption, still pulled 6.5 quarts out of the engine. Been using the Castrol Edge 5W40, and on the back has the 501, 502 and 505 certification.

Pros: low oil consumption
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I use Castrol syn in our VW because they call for Castrol syn. The only thing I've found is that our VW which called for Castrol Syn 0w20 always sounded clattery - until I switched to 5w30. I guess we are suffering a little MPG at the cost of a quiet engine but I won't use the 0w20 again.

Pros: quiet engine
Cons: suffering a little MPG
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 140000 km

As someone mentioned the Castrol Edge 5w-40 (black bottle) that Napa carries is probably very close to VW OEM dealer oil. If it is good enough for Porsche I am sure it is more than good enough for VW.

Pros: good enough for Porsche

Volvo 940 Turbo; Castrol Edge Synthetic 0w40. Seems to play nice with the old seals and works pretty nicely in the winter too.

Pros: works well in winter
Vehicle: Volvo 940

Based on my experience over the years, while switching back and fourth between the Mobil1 and Castrol, is that the Castrol doesn't seem to burn off as much in between oil changes.

Pros: less burn off

PENNZOIL Engine oil

I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.

Pros: cheap, easy to find
