Engine oil Castrol or Shell

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.

Shell T6 rottella can be found for $10-12 (us) per gallon after sale and rebate. It is worth stocking lol.

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.

Go find some Shell Rotella T6 at Walmart and use that. 5W-40, and it is rated JASO-MA so it's safe for wet clutch applications. I run it in both bikes and my car; it stands up to sheer and fuel dilution well.

Rotella T6. Don't waste your money on special bike oil. I used it in my ninja 250, my sumo, my speed triple. same oil for everything.

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.

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

Volvo 940 Turbo; Castrol Edge Synthetic 0w40. Seems to play nice with the old seals and works pretty nicely in the winter too.
