Engine oil Castrol or RAVENOL

I just use German made Castrol Edge 0w40 (502 certified) oil. Ive used this oil since the car had its first oil change and it does not burn a drop and car runs great, i now have 59k miles and shes drives new as ever.

I have been using the Ravenol VMO 5w30 formula that you can get through Blauparts.com, I have reduced oil consumption in my 2.0 TSI by using this oil.

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.

Castrol EDGE 5w-40 is what I use.

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.

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.

I ran either Mobil 1 or Castrol VW Spec oil in my 08 2.0 TSI and had the usual high burn off with no visible leaks for 1st 100K or so and then switched to Ravenol VMO VW Spec oil I buy on line for a premium price but I like the fact there is little burn off in 5L change intervals which should equate to less carbon buildup in the upper intake of the heads. I have not done an oil analysis which would be helpful to know if I should be waiting to 7,500 or more before I change filter and oil. I had the misfortune of a valve spring breaking at 125K that lead to the head being removed and rebuilt at VW Dealer, the head mechanic was amazed how clean engine was (Mobil 1/Castrol) and the honing lines on the cylinder walls could still be seen indicating very little if any wear. I'm at 156K and burn about 1/2 quart every 5K and engine is as tight as Day 1 with APR Stage 1 Tune

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.

\"German Castrol\" 0-30, extractor at 5ks and drain at 10ks

I did my first oil change at around 6,500 miles and used Castrol EDGE 5w-40.
