I\u2019ve always preferred Castrol gold.
In my 323i with the 2.5L N52 engine, I use Castrol Edge 5w40 with the appropriate LL specification. Oil consumption is 3000 km per liter, with 190,000 km on the clock.
Castrol is really good considering cost and quality.
I replaced the plugs, oil/filter and air filter with oem parts when I got it. I\u2019ve been changing the oil at 5k intervals with the recommended Castrol 0w-20.
I run Castrol (bought at Walmart), like my father and his father did before me...
I use it in my non deleted CJAA (dumb) but I haven't had any issues (yet) and it doesn't burn oil.
2014 VW Passat 1.8TSI engine. 249k miles. Did the recommended oil change at every 10k until 125, then every 5 k. Transmission fluid change every 80k, looking back, will switch to 60k, just to be safe.
At the end of the day, pretty much anything in spec will work fine.
That being said, I did a bunch of research for my V85 and determined that Motorex Cross-Power does the best in high demand applications. Air cooled engines can have a really wide temp range. That's what I use.
I did burn more Castrol than kroon. now i cannot get kroon and changed to Motul which seems to burn faster than kroon.
I tried Castrol and was not a fan, found it burned faster than any oil I used.
