Engine oil Castrol or AMSOIL
AMSOIL is definately the best oil to buy, but its expensive and hard to find (unless you order it - amsoil.com).
i just did my first oil change with amsoil 5-40 European blend. i heard stories about mobil1 burning oil more than other synthetics.
AMSOIL oil and filter. I swear the butt-dyno gave me a few ponies after switching from Mobil.
I use 5w50 Castrol, just coats my rides power like white on rice!
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.
The 3 vanagons I owned, seemed to do the best on GTX 20w50.
I stick to Castrol GTX 20W50. Use a Mann or Mahle filter only. Bosch if you're in a pinch.
AMSOIL BABY, all the way. 10w30 Turbo oil and filter every 12,500 or 6 months whichever comes first. Out performs all other brands!
I've been using Amsoil on my '02 A4 1.8T. Converted it over as soon as I could b/c that little hamster gets hot during the long summers around here. Car doesn't burn a drop of oil, of coure it has only 29k on it.
The German-made Castrol 0W30 is an excellent oil. I would use it without hesitation.
