Castrol is fine. It’s literally the manufacture recommended brand
Have also used castrol once on my alltrack and I use castrol in all the cars I work on/ take care of at home and never had a problem with it.
I've used Castrol in all my VWs and have never had any issue.
I personally like using pennzoil euro platinum 5w-40 in my Mk7.
I've run Pennzoil Ultra in 5W-30 for the past 4 years and never had a problem.
Some 5w-40 can be quite thick in cold. The 0w-30 here is German Syntec, and trust me it's the same visc curve as 0w-40. As you see, 5w-40 is 3-4x thicker in cold than jug 5w-30
I always use Castrol on both my Honda and Volkswagen.
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20, and follow a 5K miles/6 months time change schedule. (It’s twice as often as is recommended but that’s just my personal preference on how often I change it, not indicative of oil quality or use parameters.)
Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-30
Last oil change (Sep 2022, 100,094 miles), I used Castrol Edge 0W-40.
