Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL
I got some Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W40 which is VW502 00 approved. I decided to try this oil as their name is on the oil filler cap, as in the past with other cars I always used Mobil 1 0W40.
Castrol Edge European formula 5W-30. Closest thing to group IV you can easily find in the states.
I switched from the lm to Castrol and it works as intended at a much more affordable cost.
Motul Is the snizz. I put it in my Honda and every German car that comes in for service.
I use 5w40 Castro’s European blend in my 06 e60 530xi and it seems like it does the job.
I used Castrol Edge 5w40 last oil change and the engine feels smooth and burns little to no oil.
I used Castrol GTX 10W-40 High mileage and never had issues.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Castrol Edge are probably the best all round oils.
I put 5w40 in mine, that's what is recommended for mk6 at all temps. Summer or winter months. I use Castrol Edge Full Synthetic high mileage, works a charm.
I spent ages today on the phone to numerous SEAT dealers, VW dealers, SEAT HQ, VW HQ, Castrol and Millers. The bottom line is total confusion everywhere. I rang 12 SEAT dealers - all but one (I'll come back to which one)said that VW 505.01 must be (and is)used.
