I use 5w-30 Valvoline Restore & Protect, I’m from the SoCal low desert region. Never had an issue, changed every 5,000 miles (nearly once a months cause I commute so much for work).
Started using restore and protect a few months and 4k miles ago. No leaks either.
Done 2 oil changes so far and car has not used a drop of oil and I drive it pretty hard.
I’ve used Castrol and Castrol High Mileage on my Mk6. At just over 143K miles, I’ve had no engine issues at all.
Been running Castrol in my VWs for 20 years. Never had any issues.
Castrol euro has been good to me for the last 120k miles.
I run Valvoline Restore and Protect. It may be overkill, but I change it every 4-5,000 miles.
If you wanna try and solve the oil burning though, try using either Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 engine oil at your next oil change (and use it for top ups as well) or Valvoline Maxlife 5w-30. If you find your burning oil while driving, it’s probably gummed up piston rings in which case use the Restore and Protect- it’ll take a bit (4 consecutive oil changes) but it’s the only off the shelf oil available that will completely clean the rings and stop the burning.
I have used Castrol and it seems fine.
They checked the oil and sure enough they put double the oil in her engine.
