Engine oil Mobil or Castrol

You can also try changing your oil to M1 15w50 full synthetic that helped me with my cold start rattling issues and the engine seems to run smoother along with the vanos idle clacking noises going away.

Personally I use mobile 1 extended performance and change every 5k but I’m a bit of an oil critic

Tengo un Vento 2.0 TSI gen3 que cuando lo compré usaba Elaion F50 sintético 10w40 y lo consumía. Cambié a Mobil 1 FS 0w40 y no consume más...

En VW cuando surgió el problema de consumo de aceite en una partida de los 1.6 MSI (16V), primero habilitaron a que los clientes llevaran el aceite de su preferencia para los services y yo comencé a llevar el Castrol Edge 5W-40 Titanium FST, que sigo utilizando, salvo que el último service (no oficial), le pusieron el Castrol Edge 5W-40 sin el antifricción (bidón negro) y le agregue un Molikote antifricción, por la falta del antifricción en el aceite. Ya va por los 223.000 km sin consumo de aceite, ni pérdida de potencia.

Castrol if you just wanna drive it.

I just buy oil with the certs for my car. VW certs are prominently labeled on oils approved by them. I usually use Castrol or Mobil 1.

I’m definitely going to keep running Castrol Edge 0W-30 Synthetic European Formula. 10/10. It’s on the thicker 0W-30 side of things, so it really is somewhat of a 0W-35, it hits the spot when it comes to engine lubrication and protection when the engine is either cold or warmed up.

I've been using the original castrol 10-60 oil and then more recently the BMW M TwinPower 10-60 oil for the last 10 years on my e46 M3.

I was running Castrol 0w30 European formula in my 07 323i and the car ticked a lot and made noises I’ve never heard it make previously when running 5w30. So recently I swapped to castrol 5w40 European formula and the car is whisper quite even on cold starts. It just sounds so much healthier.

have used Castrol 5w-40 as VW calls for and change at 5000 mile intervals. Now at 129K, it still uses one or two quarts between changes and performs as well or better than new.
