Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
I run Mobil 1 15w50 in Colorado in my 1.8 8v 85 GTi. For camshaft insurance I add a zinc additive at oil change time.
I use Mobil 1 15W50 zddp conent is higher than regular oil.
My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.
Used Mobil 1 in all my Toyotas for the last 20 years. My dad's Scion xB is close to 400k miles running strong.
Stick with 5W50. Brand doesn’t matter as long as it’s a quality supplier. I used Mobil 1 in the beginning
Always used M1 on my 30 year old Celica/camry. They both run flawlessly. Done over 30 changes on the Celica (160k miles)
I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!
Mobil 1 has never failed me over 3 Wrx’s and 1 Brz and an old forester
I will say I've done my last 3 oil changes with penzoil platinum and my engine rode rougher and louder than it did before with the Toyota oem oil. So this past time I tried mobil 1 and it's way quieter and rives smoother.
Mine eats Castrol Syntec 5w40 like it's going out of style as well.
