Edge 5w-30 did great for me. It's a great product, turning in the best 1.8t UOA I ever saw. There are PLENTY of great products dirt cheap on our shelves. I personally feel SynPower is most worth of my money, on a full price basis. Otherwise, I'll buy any other NAME BRAND synth when its' $4 or so. I actually nabbed a bunch of Quaker State 5w-40 from BigLots for $4ea. QS is a sleeper oil, esp at the right price. High moly too, great for break-in.

Pros: did great for me, great product, best UOA result

I used Edge in my APR 2.0TSI over winter, did a lab report and wear was minimal, actually the same as a Motul 5w-40 sample from the same mileage.

Pros: minimal wear, good lab report

GC 0W30 is PAO based oil. PAO and Ester based oils are much more stable and clean engines much better. People who need 502.00 approved oil simplly LOVE that thing!

Pros: much more stable, cleans engines better

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I am sticking with 0W30. Plus, it is better for cold start, which is one of the most important things!

Pros: better for cold start

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol 0W30 Made in germany, or as it is best known "German castrol." It is "thick" 0W30 more going toward 0W40. It is thermaly very stable oil. I used it on Passat B5.5 1.8T (2005) and there is more then obvius difference between "GC" and regular Castrol 5W40. GC so far is the best I used it.

Pros: thermaly very stable, obvious difference

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Pros: huge difference in MPG

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I ran Edge 5w-30 in my APR 2.0 TSI last winter, had the used oil tested at CAT afterwards for $13, and it did a great job.

Pros: did a great job

Castrol Syntech or Mobil One in 5w30 for the Volvo and 10w30 for the Ford. Mainly because I'm a lazy bastard that hates doing oil changes and the stuff lasts twice as long as regular oil. That, and I've had cars run over 400k using them exclusively.

Pros: lasts twice as long

Vehicle: Volvo

Mileage: 400000 km
