Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
OK, then what works for me is Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Car Formula.
i drive a 95 jetta vr6 i currently running mobil 1 10w-40 but i been hearing alot of good things about this new castrol edge thinking about switching to the 5w-40....im hoping i feel a difference
i run 20/50 Castrol year round. it actually reduced the burning and smoking of oil on start up, unlike Mobil 1. i'm glad i switched over.
I use Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w-40. A 5w-40 full synthetic is going to work brilliantly in your climate.
It seems 15w-40 is the standard diesel weight. I bought Castrol last time because it was on a good promo sale.... 5 quarts and filter for $5 (after rebate).
I recently swapped to German Castrol 0w30, it starts high 30 and stays high 30, so far, I've experienced no oil loss - but it's too early to say, but it makes sense.
Have also used M1 TDT 5w40 and have had great success
I was using 1 quart every 1000 miles on my o6 2.0t GTI, I actual changed to 5w40 Mobil Turbo Diesel and have gone down to about 1 quart in about 2200 miles also check you pcv as they are notorious for going bad.
IMO M1 0w40 is a very good oil that may do well in many cars. It is a master at being built to meet manufacturers specs.
I have been using it for about 15k km and two oil changes and have noticed allot less burn off compared to the dealer filled castrol 5w -40.
