Engine oil Castrol or ROWE

I run the OE Castrol because I still have CPO warranty for another year.

Performed the oil and filter change this morning along with a good inspection of the top and bottom of the motor. Everything looked great, nice and clean.

Castrol is notorious for getting dirty very fast (detergents is the popular explanation). Why I like Mobil 1 a lot, doesn't discolor nearly as fast and still a very good synthetic oil.

Castrol Magnatec 5w-30. Love me some Castrol.

Well, I just bought some 5w-40 Rowe HighTec Synt RS oil to do an oil change on my 3.6 VR CC.

Castrol 0W30 (a.k.a. German Castrol :thumbup seemed to shear thin very little over a similar interval, which is why I preferred it.

One of the best oils for your '08 FSI engine... I have used 0-30 Castrol GC, before this one came available. 0-40 Castrol is 100% german Castrol... I have been using it for long time 70K miles 0 issues with engine.....

After using German Castrol on my mkv back in the day my mpgs went up significantly.

A few years back I picked up an S65 engined M3 (E90) after work on a Friday. I hit the 155mph limiter that night, Sunday morning it was doing track duty. In 3 years and 50,000 miles it had 3 oil changes and the 1qt of Castrol Edge TWS I kept in the trunk for top-ups still had some oil in it!

My car uses about 0.5 qts of oil every 5000 miles. I think castrol 5W 40 is the best oil for this car.
