Personally I buy exactly the factory oil, from a manafacturer that factory put in, in German cars it's Castrol, French are Total and Elf, Italians use Petronas Selenia.
Pros: factory oil, correct weight
My r53 loves Castrol 5w40 and Mann/Mahle filters.
Pros: loves Castrol, Mann filters
Castrol Edge, I have used it forever in both my vehicles and I 10/10 reccomend it.
Pros: 10/10 recommend
I used Castrol magnatec 5w30 Fully synthetic every 6-7k Miles.
Pros: Fully synthetic
Smedia had a video about this and he had more wear with less miles using Motul over Castrol in a Blackstone report. So for me just the convenience and price of Castrol edge I'd pick it over Motul. Knowing it had less wear wear was the nail in the coffin of buying overpriced and often several year old Motul.
Pros: convenience and price
Cons: more wear, overpriced
Vehicle:
Subaru
Castrol edge is junk.
Cons: junk
I used Castrol edge 5w40 euro car when I had my car.
I run Castrol Edge in my VDub. It's the European blend that is approved by VW as shown on the back of the jug.
Pros: approved by VW
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Castrol Power 1 isn't a bad oil, but I'd say not the best either. I have only used LiquiMoly as an alternative, so far and I rate is better than the Castrol but it did cost almost 2x as much too.
Pros: alternative to Castrol
Cons: Castrol not the best
