Castrol Edge 0W40 A3/B4 (European Formula), about 27$ per 5 quart jug at Walmart. Made in either Germany or Belgium. A real synthetic, Type-4 PAO based (no Type 3). Meets the strictest oil requirements from ze Germans.

Pros: real synthetic, meets requirements

I used to use Castrol GTX 20W50 oil with Bardahl B2 additive, but after some discussion on the Bob is the oil guy forum, I decided to try a lighter oil: Shell Rotella 15W40 without any additive. It feels a bit easier to start and runs great (but it did ran great before). However, the oil pressure is certainly lower

Pros: easier to start, runs great
Cons: lower oil pressure

Generally, brand matters a lot. Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Castrol are all great.

I run Castrol in my older cars and Mobil 1 in newer cars that I care more about.

Pros: great oil
Vehicle: BMW

I've used Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 and 0w-40 in my AQY. (we have cold winters here) Both seem to work well, no additional lifter noises, normal mileage. Engine sounded good even just before this years oil change.

Pros: normal mileage, engine sounded good
Cons: had to add oil
Mileage: 9000 km

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.

Pros: good all-year oil
