Castrol Engine oil

any oil that meets the LL-01 standard will do, buy whatever is on sale. Castrol Edge Euro 5w30 is fine, Mobil 1 euro synthetic, whatever.

Pros: meets LL-01 standard

Castrol Engine oil

My conclusion was to use the best Castrol in the gold bottle. Of course, YOU must use the specification of weight recommended by the owners manual for the temperature range you expect to be operating in.

Pros: best Castrol, gold bottle
Mileage: 5000 km

Brings me back to my WRX days, we all used to run Rotella T6 because it burned less oil thru our gigantic subaru ring gaps.

Pros: burned less oil
Vehicle: Subaru

Shell Engine oil

I always used Rotella 5w30 gas truck oil designed for “All Mileage” in my 2005 Nissan Frontier with 95k but it’s been discontinued. I really liked this oil as it seemed to be thicker and remained viscous for longer compared to others. My favorite part about it? NO LEAKS!

Pros: no leaks, viscous for longer
Cons: discontinued
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 95000 km

Been using the molygen one, noticed a small reduction of oil consumption and better idling than Castrol (VW recommended)

Pros: better idling
Cons: small reduction oil consumption

I'm running Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4 right now, but feel there is more startup noise than when using Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 European Formula.

Cons: more startup noise
Part number: EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4
