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.
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 use Castrol Edge 0W-40 in my '08 328, N52. Based on used oil analysis from Blackstone Labs, I'm at a 6K mile change interval.
The OEM oil filter worked well to keep insolubles low, and after 8,570 miles on this fill of Castrol High Mileage, the 2.8 TBN shows the oil had active additive to spare.
Castrol Europeans 0W40 is my typical go-to but Mobil-1 is great, get whichever is cheaper.
Australia here - they used 10w-30
Feedback from showroom
The 10w-30 is the best oil due to the Australian conditions
Castrol oil MAG
Castrol. I've just always used it. A bit of advice though, i'd recommend staying away from Pennzoil, I had to clean an engine out after using it. Nasty, waxy stuff.
