Lately, I've been using the Rotella Synthetic 0w40 which is available at Canadian Tire. It conforms to the required specifications for the non-PD engines.
Pros: conforms to required specifications
I have 148k km of entusiastic driving w/Amsoil 5w30 Series 3000. The Ontario distributor actually rates this better than the Euro formula so I will keep using it.
Pros: rated better than Euro formula
Mileage: 148000 km
Canadian Tire sells Shell Rotella SB full synthetic. Great for our TDI's....
Pros: great for TDI's
I bought a case of Delvac1 5W40(4x4L) Synthetic at a distributor not too long ago for $128 tax included. On a side note, it was cheaper to buy the Delvac1 than the Mobil 0W40!
Pros: cheaper than Mobil 0W40
The 3 vanagons I owned, seemed to do the best on GTX 20w50.
Pros: best performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I stick to Castrol GTX 20W50. Use a Mann or Mahle filter only. Bosch if you're in a pinch.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
As for oil, I suggest using Mobil 1 0w40. They recently started carrying this in town and my mpg has improved with it.
Pros: improved mpg
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Never tried Royal Purple but have used Redline a few times before and will continue to use it. Great stuff!
Pros: Great stuff
I switched to Mobil1 5w-30 shortly after purchasing my 99.5 1.8T and I haven't had any problems, as a matter of fact my cold-weather starts noticeably improved and oil temperatures seem to be consistently lower during normal operating conditions.
Pros: cold-weather starts improved
Vehicle:
Audi A4
