The gallon of Castrol is the same whether you buy it at CT or Napa.
Personally I always run Castrol and it's done me well, even in older cars that had been a bit battered.
Been using the molygen one, noticed a small reduction of oil consumption and better idling than Castrol (VW recommended)
I use the blue bottle 5w-40 on my 2.5 Mk5 Rabbit.
Runs quieter than when i used Castrol High Mileage.
About $22 for 5 Qts. of Castrol (you can buy it on Amazon or at Walmart for a decent price). Filter is about $4.00 or more if you buy a premium filter.
2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts
Germany, 320d, 2008, 280000km, Castrol Edge 5w-30. Every 15000km
Castrol high mileage 5w-30 every 3 to 5k
Any other oil I have tried made my lifter tick super loud in cold weather
I ran Castrol 5W30 full synthetic in the engine.It burned a quart every 3500-4000.
I noticed when the castrol 508 spec wears. It smells Faintly of onions and beans. Strange smell indeed, when I took my car to street side VW out of Amarillo, Texas.
