Castrol › Engine oil

Rating 5.0

A few years back I picked up an S65 engined M3 (E90) after work on a Friday. I hit the 155mph limiter that night, Sunday morning it was doing track duty. In 3 years and 50,000 miles it had 3 oil changes and the 1qt of Castrol Edge TWS I kept in the trunk for top-ups still had some oil in it!

Pros: low oil consumption, good for track use

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 80467 km

Part number: EDGE TWS

I am getting great results with the Ravenol VMO 5w40 in my 08 2.0 TSI, almost no burn off in 5K change and area below oil fill in valve cover is spotless. Used to have a dark color oil film at change interval but after 4 changes with the Ravenol it is clean oil film now at change.

Pros: almost no burn off, valve cover spotless

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 8047 km

Part number: VMO 5W40

My car uses about 0.5 qts of oil every 5000 miles. I think castrol 5W 40 is the best oil for this car.

Pros: best oil for this car

Cons: uses about 0.5 qts

Part number: 5W40
