Just updating! I used to put Castrol Magnatec 5w40 on that Golf, and the engine just improved from day one. Much smoother and with greater response to throttle, and the engine start got like 2 seconds faster, almost instantaneous.

Pros: much smoother, greater response

I used to use Mobile1 in my vehicles but switched to castrol edge only becuase mobile1 didn't have very good flow rates at startup in colder climates (like Michigan) as castrol had. Plus it's recommend for asian vehicles and I drive Nissan and Mazda.

Pros: better flow rates at startup
Cons: Mobile1 not good flow
Vehicle: Nissan

After tuning. Castrol edge 5w40 and 6 months or 5k.

Figure the changes are cheap insurance.

Pros: cheap insurance
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 8000 km

In the desert, I use [Castrol Euro 5W-40] - it's easy to find everywhere and pretty cheap. It's technically only an API SN, but the actual test results seem to indicate it exceeds SN+ requirements in most every metric that matters

Pros: easy to find, pretty cheap

I spent ages today on the phone to numerous SEAT dealers, VW dealers, SEAT HQ, VW HQ, Castrol and Millers. The bottom line is total confusion everywhere. I rang 12 SEAT dealers - all but one (I'll come back to which one)said that VW 505.01 must be (and is)used.

Pros: VW 505.01 must be used
Cons: total confusion everywhere
