Castrol › Engine oil

reynolds9000 9 Mar 2013, 14:35

Rating 4.5

Engine noise:

I did notice lifter noise with the 5w-40 so decided to go with Castrol Syntec 10w-40 and it made quite a bit of difference in quieting down the lifters. I use a Mann filter. After i get the engine flushed on my VR swap using ****ty conventional oil, i'm going to run Castrol Syntec 10w-40 in it as well. Lots of people recommend 5w-40 or 0w-40 for the VR but i've found 10w-40 works well and my oil temps seldom exceed 208*.

Pros: quieted down lifters, works well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Part number: SYNTEC 10W-40

Noise:

Just today I changed the rear brake pads and rotors on my 2004 Jetta GLI 1.8t. I got some new Zimmerman rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads on now, and obviously that fixed the grinding.

Pros: fixed the grinding

Colored puddles:

I got the light this morning on the wife's JSW. So I checked out the situation. Sure enough seriously low coolant, like well below minimum fill line. Only 7000 miles. Took it to the dealership to have it topped off.

Cons: seriously low coolant

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 7000 km

Pros: no problems, reliable for 120k miles

Mileage: 193121 km

LIQUI MOLY › Engine oil

Rating 5.0

Engine noise:

I agree with nickbeezy... Liqui moly is qualit oil... Its funny, the way i see it: it delivers better quality than expected... If you use the oil in addition to some of their additives you will notice impressive results. These results include a quieter engine, better mpg, better long term reliability, less oil burned, etc.

Pros: quieter engine, better mpg

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Engine noise:

Well, I did mine last weekend with Liqui Moly 5W40 and I have to say that the car does sound better than with Mobil 1 5W40. It might be imagination, but that counts too, right?? LOL

Pros: car sounds better

Engine noise:

Amsoil made the engine idle much smoother than any of the other oils have but every oil I've used but Mobil has been good as far as life and burn-off goes.

Pros: engine idle much smoother

Cons: none
