My 10k UOAs on Castrol 5w40 were just fine, but VW 504 is mid-saps so it might not have as much staying power even thought it's "better" oil.

Pros: UOAs were just fine

Mileage: 16093 km

Our Tig is coming up on it's 4th change (every 5K) and hasn't lost any significant amount between changes. So far all changes have been the 508 spec Castrol 0w20.

Pros: hasn't lost significant amount

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

I really like Castrol oil. I used the VW High Performance twice, and it was fine, but I still preferred Castrol.

Pros: preferred Castrol

The approach to go with 10W40 is absolutely right - from my experience the best oil for that kind of engines! Take an expensive Castrol Magnatec Oil and it runs well.

Pros: best oil for engine, runs well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

As an aside, all the oil used to be Castrol and has now transitioned to a VW boxed product produced by Mobil 1. THAT is the correct oil.

Pros: correct oil, VW boxed product

I'm running 5qt 5W40 full synthetic oil (Castrol Edge, to be specific). The oil is changed yearly cause I never get close to the 10k miles suggested by VW for an oil interval.

Pros: full synthetic

Vehicle: Volkswagen Beetle
