From what I can find, Castrol makes a 0W30 longlife oil which can be used in VW engines which have sensors which support the longlife service regime. According to this regime, oil change intervals can range from 9,000 miles or 12 months to as long as 30,000 miles or 24 months - IF the sensors will allow such an extended interval.

Pros: long oil change intervals

Vehicle: Volkswagen

The oil used by VW is made by Castrol. Of course, you can't buy it in any store.

Pros: used by VW

Cons: can't buy in any store

I stick to Castrol GTX 20W50. Use a Mann or Mahle filter only. Bosch if you're in a pinch.
