Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL
I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!
Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.
Motul 8100X-Clean for me, no problems!
I’ve been runnin Motul 7100 full syntetic for the last 15.000 km’s (9300 miles) never had an issue once.
300.000km - oil: Castrol Edge 5W-30 and a new vortex breather - without oil consumption
315.000km - oil: fuchs titan 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption
330.000km - oil: mannol 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption
345.000km - oil: eneos 5W-30 and a filter type breather - without oil consumption
I have been told the same by Blackstone on my cars, though I still do it once a year given the cost is <$75. However, I do follow their advice on intervals, after once being a 5,000 mile interval guy. On all three of our cars, using Castrol Edge 5W-20, I've repeatedly gotten analysis that tells me that, at 7,500-10,000 miles, the oil is still performing as intended.
I've had good luck with Castrol for several years in two WRXs.
The red Motul is amazing stuff!
If your interval is 30,000km / 20k mi (2Y) then you should use the higher spec VW 503 / 504 (left page) if you have the 15,000km / 10k mi (1Y) interval then you can use the lower grade VW 501 / 502 oil on the right page.
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.
