Engine oil Castrol or Shell
Castrol works fine.
Dont use the cheap stuff. Liqui moly or Castrol!
This is what I use… with a Fram synthetic oil filter.
I have been using 5w-20 for more than 3 years on my Accord 2004 (330K) and 2003 (230K). I have no issues with both and the engines runs the same as before using other oils like Castrol Magnatec.
But as a fellow 7.5 owner i switched to 15w-40 when going stage 1 because where i live temps regularly even in winter are around 98-105 degrees and i was finding i had to top off the oil every 1,200 miles, since the switch to the thicker oil ive done 2,500 and the level is exactly the same
Castrol Euro in my mk6. It meets the VW spec according to the bottle. I've been using only that for 9+ years, changing oil at 10k miles or 1 yr, zero sludge, zero problems, original turbo, good compression, good oil pressure, etc. IMO it's very good oil.
Why spend more when you can buy Shell Helix Ultra FS 5w40 from Lotus's, Giant or Aeon Big for half the price or less compared bought in petrol stations.
I run mobil1 but my local small engine place that installs and services Generac, Kohler and Briggs swears by Rotella straight 30 weight.
I highly recommend Castrol Edge 0w20 and Castrol edge 0w20 high mileage oil for your vehicle which requires 0w20 508.00 oil. 508.00 burns a lot. And I looked the additive in it. It is very cheap mixture. When I use regular Castrol edge it gives less oil consumption. Highly recommended for you.
Yo usaba Elaion en la Ecosport 2008 y es carisimo para lo que es. Ahora uso el Helix de Shell sin ningun problema
Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.
