I use Castrol Magnatec A3/B4 10W-40 part synthetic. 3 years now and no problems.
Honestly, any brand should be okay as long as you change your oil every 5k miles. Personally I run Penz ultra plat. I never burn oil with it and my engine sounds quieter than it did w/ Mobil 1.
5W-30 Castrol C4, never fails with my Clio. DPF is safe and sound, no soot, no weird smells.
5W40 Castrol Euro. I get less oil consumption than 5w-30 and it seems to run a bit more smoothly.
Castrol Edge 'Euro Car' 5W-40
Used to get a big white plume on cold starts but no more. Still burn a lot, but not as much
Best oil I've used
Put about 300K on two different M54's so far. Originally Mobil1/Castrol 0W30 (that was the original BMW recommendation in early 2000s), eventually switched to Pennzoil Euro 5W40 for oil leak reduction.
Yes you can I’ve been using 10w40 castrol ever since I got it and I’ve been fine
I switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic made from natural gas. Oil consumption is 1/2qt in 5K.
Australia here - they used 10w-30
Feedback from showroom
The 10w-30 is the best oil due to the Australian conditions
Castrol oil MAG
I would run Castrol over Pennzoil. Coming from personal experience, Pennzoil is junk.
