Used 5w40 castrol for most its life, but vw504 standard is good too. Using it now and the old man says it runs good.
My Mazda3 which I service myself now, Castrol edge 5w-30 and feels happier. Same engine too.
I always used blue "german" coolant in my e90 bmw oddly it also recommended Castrol oil. Specifically called for it in oil cap
i drive 85% freeway so i change the oil and oil filter every 7500 miles using Castrol Edge 0W-20 synthetic oil since 2017 no vehicle issue.
I put Castrol euro 5w-50 made for BMW and it's 6-7 liters and change it every 5000km I have a 2003 330ci and it still runs like new
5w40 VW 502 spec. Audi recommends Castrol so that's what I use.
Personally i never run ”GM” oil in my 95s anymore. I usually run Castrol edge 0-40
I ran this in my mk7 and my brother ran Castrol Edge Euro in his mk7. I have since sold mine but neither one of us had any type of engine/oil consumption issue and he still has with 130k on it.
Any 5w30 that’s c2 or c3 rated will do, that said I’ve heard negative reviews around the quality of castrol so maybe spend just a little bit extra and get something mid range, I use Fuchs Titan GT1 FLEX C23 5w-30.
HP Prolube is a very low quality oil compared to other oil brands in the market. Castrol has good head sound dampening, as does Rowe, both great for gear shifts and clutch feel.
