Engine oil Castrol or Total

Total Engine oil

I have been running this oil for the past 2 oil changes and its all good! Excellent product since it has been around for ages and it is euro After i drained my oil at 7500k's (4660miles) you could still see through the oil....any other synthetic i have had you could not do that.

Pros: Excellent product, oil still clear
Mileage: 7500 km

I used to use mobil1 5w30 for 2 or 3 oil changes then switch to Total 5w40 full syn and it burns way less. I think I burn a whole quart every 3 or 4k using 5w30 but with Total 5w40 I burnt probably hald that.

Pros: burns way less
Cons: burn a quart

Castrol Engine oil

Anyway, my W8 has been fed only Castrol LL 2 & 3 (SLX, Professional Powerflow) & Shell Ultra Helix VX (Longlife 3 oil made for VW) . I don't know if that's the magic that has made my cam tensioners last this far, but I'm going to heed that mechanics advice in the future too.

Pros: cam tensioners last long

Me neither, I use the 5W-40 Syntec also and although I have a 2.5, from the 10k - 20k change it only used about .8 qts. If it's 502.00 it's a quality oil, doesn't really matter what it says on the bottle.

Pros: Syntec 5W-40: quality oil, low consumption
Mileage: 10000 km

i've found that syntec 5w40 lasts, i've used otehr brands on my mkIV 2.slow and had oil consumption issues in the summer, but when i used 5w40 syntec i had no issues with burning oil, and have yet to see any with my 2.0T which is at 17000 km now, so its still kinda early to tell anything

Pros: Syntec 5w40: lasts, no burning
Mileage: 17000 km
