I run Castrol Edge in mine, the spec exceeds API SN PLUS/SP and ILSAC GF-6, coupled with a genuine hyundai filter
I use Castrol as it’s the OEM product and is cheap if you buy direct from Ford.
Audi TTS from 2016 and depending on wether im driving comfortable to work in winter it can be 95-98c, pushing it hard in summer it goes up to 107-108c at times.
My S3 seems to be at 222F all summer when commuting, I think it gets near 240F after a good autocross run
My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.
I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!
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’m stupid and like Castrol. Is it any better than the Walmart 5w30 synthetic? No. It just usually comes with a filter if I buy it with a coupon.
Dude omg yes. I work at O'Reilly's and this castrol pisses me off.
