I use castrol 5w40euro but I’ve also used liquimoly 5w40 and it was also very good to me. Those are my go to’s but I’m sure many others have rec’d other good brands of 5w40 in comments.
Castrol Edge 5w-40 in my 2.8 2001 Passat, 3.6 2017 Touareg, 3.0T 2014 Audi A6 and Castrol Edge 0W-40 in my 2.5 2012 Jetta. Located in Minnesota. Usually run 5W-40 year round.
Jetta was picky last winter, so switched over to 0W-40 from 5W-40. Depends on how harsh the winter, might be a good idea to go 0W-40.
Castrol 5W-40 Eurocar. I live in the northeast and park outside. Car has been solid and I've used this oil since I bought it. 65k miles later, I see no reason to make a change now.
Previous comments about mobil 1 are right it’s best for reliability - castrol are seen as high performance oils
5W-30 Castrol Edge. FPRS uses it and has had very few failures on stock motor cars. I was also running it in my GR86, and Blackstone came back perfect on that car.
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've tried most of them. I went like 2 years doing all sorts of testing on my car and never noticed a difference. I stick with good old Castrol Edge like the factory recommends.
my vw eats full synthetic castrol 5w40. thats what the dealership recommended to me.
