Castrol Engine oil
rbmk1810
Rating 4.0
  • Engine noise:

Hey! I had two Octavias with the 1.6 TDI: the mk2 (I sold it) and the mk3 (the current one). Personally, I prefer Castrol Edge 5W-30. On the mk2 I once used Ravenol and the engine was a bit noisier compared to when I used Castrol.

Pros: engine happier than ever
Cons: engine was noisier

Shell Engine oil

Phattbotti tuning has done oil sample tests in multiple oils and he says Rotella T6 5w-40 is the best bang for the buck.

Pros: best bang for buck

LIQUI MOLY Engine oil

  • Exhaust smoke:

I’ve tested a few Liqui Moly mixtures and so far my favorite has actually been the Molygen though it’s not recommended it does meet their LL04 standard. Special Tec is a viable option as well and recommended by BMW. I’d say either is a great option for the longevity of the engine. I’ve had my car for 50k KM (20K Miles roughly) and I’ve had no issues whatsoever so far!

Pros: great for longevity, no issues
Mileage: 50000 km

  • Engine noise:

Rotella T5, since the T6 is a bit too expensive for a car that leaks. Also a purolator pure one filter. I am up in Northwest NJ. I change it when the HLAs get noisy. It was 4500 miles for the last one.

Pros: none
Cons: HLAs get noisy
Mileage: 7242 km
