Engine oil Castrol or Lucas
Castrol 5w-30 been fine in every vehicle I had
I use castrol edge. It burns a lot less oil that when I was using Motul
Castrol 5w30/ 0w30 German Castrol never leaked oil.
Tried both but my car seems to like castrol euro the most. Don’t have to add oil between changes
i recommend u buy castrol fully synthetic gtx. Normal price 160-170 but during offer can get as low as 110-130 with free microfiber towel from castrol. Make sure it is shopee mall castrol. I have already bought 3-4 bottles and used it with no issue.
That's a good oil. I used it before I switched to 10w-50 Castrol.
A3/B4 is a rating for just protecting the engine.
Castrol edge 5w-30 LL is oil with just C3. So it's mostly for protecting DPF. If you have a diesel engine with DPF then this is a good choice. If not something else would be better.
I switched to synthetic after doing a piston soak. Sticking with synthetic here on out. I initially ran conventional Castrol 5/30 then blend as conventional was not available through Amazon and then synthetic to try to stave off carbon build up on rings after a successful piston soak.
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
I used castrol edge on my last change but I don't like the way the oil looks after a few months of driving. Of course it was extreme temperatures down here in South Texas. Wonder if the extreme heat caused my oil to look kinda jello looking haha.
