Engine oil Mobil or Castrol

Castrol 0W30 (a.k.a. German Castrol :thumbup seemed to shear thin very little over a similar interval, which is why I preferred it.

I've been very happy with Mobil 1 0W-40 EP, which I've used for many years in BMWs

For quality and availability, it's hard to beat M1 0W-40.

I bought 5 qrts Mobile 1 Edge synthetic 0W20 on sale with a filter from Advanced Auto for $40, took the oil and filter to the Honda Dealer, and they changed my oil for $15 labor plus tax and fees, total $18. So this brought total cost to $58 for synthetic oil change.

the only oil you'll find at Walmart that's approved is mobil 1 ow40.

I will also use a zero weight synthetic like mobil one.

One of the best oils for your '08 FSI engine... I have used 0-30 Castrol GC, before this one came available. 0-40 Castrol is 100% german Castrol... I have been using it for long time 70K miles 0 issues with engine.....

After using German Castrol on my mkv back in the day my mpgs went up significantly.

A few years back I picked up an S65 engined M3 (E90) after work on a Friday. I hit the 155mph limiter that night, Sunday morning it was doing track duty. In 3 years and 50,000 miles it had 3 oil changes and the 1qt of Castrol Edge TWS I kept in the trunk for top-ups still had some oil in it!

My car uses about 0.5 qts of oil every 5000 miles. I think castrol 5W 40 is the best oil for this car.
