Castrol in my daily driver. The daily would have a slight ticking when warming up with other brands, not with Castrol, so I been using it for over 100k with no issues.
Have a look on Amazon they do some good deals on oil, I normally stick it in my basket and wait for it to drop.
My old car was Castrol 5w30 Magnatec, £28.50 for 4l on Amazon £43.99 from euro.
Using Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 after watching a EN owner on YouTube suggested it. Car runs great in this 110 plus days in Texas
I did 100k on Castrol gtx in an f4i plus tens of thousands on other bikes using the same oil. I buy it in bulk and it goes in the whole fleet.
In the rare occasions I get it from there, I use Castrol or Mobil One 5W-30 or 40.
Walmart carries jugs of Castrol Edge SPT 0w40 A3/B4 for much less than quarts at AutoZone
Run it in my R, wife's GTI, and even ran it in a WRX I used to have. It's good oil, the analyses I've sent in over the years don't lie!
Castrol Edge 5W-30 for me. I live in Vegas where it barely gets under 30 degrees in winter even so it's a better oil for the hot climate in live in
Any major brand of the correct rating and viscosity will work.
That being said, I have an 05 that was used as a DD for 12 years. Short trips, 3 days a week. After 12 years and 47K miles, I added a aftermarket supercharger. Put another 20K on it, including trips to the drag strip and track days.
I then had it rebuilt with forged internals because I wanted higher boost and more power. When the engine was pulled apart and measured. There was no wear. The cylinders were still within factory specs as was the crank.
I had used Amsoil SS 0W-20 the whole time.
Fa20 DIT..Castrol edge Euro..0w 40 winter, 5w40 the rest..111k miles, stock block, E85, 400ish whp, drive like I stole it..I change it every 3k, 4k a few times in a pinch...I also run an IAG street AOS
have used Castrol 5w-40 as VW calls for and change at 5000 mile intervals. Now at 129K, it still uses one or two quarts between changes and performs as well or better than new.
