5w-30 Castrol LongLife in mine in Europe. But often interchangeable, but always depending on what the manual says. Top thing though I’ve found after 120k miles in on a TSI is: keep it near top of dipstick to bypass chain and turbo issues (turbo especially relies on good oil supply). Listen for rattling chain and listen to turbo note, can often hear changes and usually due to lower oil level.
I had a 2009 VW Rabbit, and I'd often buy Castrol Syntec (full synthetic). I haven't seen this 'Euro Car' formula, but it says it's full synthetic, so I think it would be fine.
Amsoil in everything I ever owned. My 2017 RAV4 hybrid is sitting on 350k miles and still running strong.
Castrol a good engine oil, albeit more expensive. Stopped using them when the price went up significantly
I run amsoil in the engine and primary and redline in the tranny. No issues, my glide runs better on the amsoil then when I the syn3 in it
Had it on all my bikes great oil. Cheaper alternative will be Castrol power one ultimate.
Here I am just dumping in Amsoil 5W-50 SSO because all I care about is shear wear protection and something content with high temp operation. 20,000 miles and not even a single psi drop in compression the whole time, don't even premix.
En VW cuando surgió el problema de consumo de aceite en una partida de los 1.6 MSI (16V), primero habilitaron a que los clientes llevaran el aceite de su preferencia para los services y yo comencé a llevar el Castrol Edge 5W-40 Titanium FST, que sigo utilizando, salvo que el último service (no oficial), le pusieron el Castrol Edge 5W-40 sin el antifricción (bidón negro) y le agregue un Molikote antifricción, por la falta del antifricción en el aceite. Ya va por los 223.000 km sin consumo de aceite, ni pérdida de potencia.
Castrol if you just wanna drive it.
And one thing I would definitely do is get the Castrol out of there if you intend to keep the car long-term. The recent changes to the oil we are delivered at the dealer is crazy!!! It's not the same as it used to be and I can tell a huge difference in my cars. Have had excess oil consumption, lower MPG and quicker deterioration of the oil over last 6 months using Castrol(and I work at dealer)
