I switched from the lm to Castrol and it works as intended at a much more affordable cost.
Pros: works as intended

I use 5w40 Castro’s European blend in my 06 e60 530xi and it seems like it does the job.
Pros: does the job
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 125000 km
I used Castrol Edge 5w40 last oil change and the engine feels smooth and burns little to no oil.
Pros: engine feels smooth
Cons: burns little oil
I used Castrol GTX 10W-40 High mileage and never had issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Castrol Edge are probably the best all round oils.
Pros: best all round oils
I put 5w40 in mine, that's what is recommended for mk6 at all temps. Summer or winter months. I use Castrol Edge Full Synthetic high mileage, works a charm.
Pros: works a charm
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The 0-20 Castrol VW Spec oil I buy from my dealer is cheaper than any 0-20 from Walmart or auto parts stores. My 2019 GSW has 16,000 miles and uses next to no oil between changes. I have averaged over 40 mpg for the 16K miles.
Pros: cheaper than others, uses next to no oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 25750 km
When it comes to oil I have one thing to say. Use Valvoline or Castrol 3000 for conventional 5 to 7000 for synthetic,. If you do this and take good care of your vehicle your car will go 200,000 to 300,000 miles.
Pros: increase car mileage
I happen to use Castrol in all my gasoline powered vehicles and have had no oil related issues. Given that VW promoted Castrol and, more importantly, that I prefer Castrol in general, I’m staying with Castrol when I can... I've had no oil loss in the Tig with Castrol and see no reason to switch to a different brand just because some MBAhole behind a desk made a profit driven decision to switch suppliers.
Pros: no oil related issues, no oil loss
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I run 5w40 syntec and I eat about 1/2-3/4 oil every 5,000 miles. It will eat it more if I drive it really hard.
Cons: eats 1/2-3/4 oil
Mileage: 8047 km
Part number: 5W40
