I live in Turkey vw service uses Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL
So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.
10w-30 FS castrol edge is what I use and I'll add Lucas oil full stabilizer to it and she loves it:')
It’s fine. I stick to the Castrol Euro as it’s readily available.
I use castrol as I’m Canadian and the price to get liquimoly is unacceptably expensive imo. But if you can get it at a decent price I’d go with that.
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 always use Castrol on both my Honda and Volkswagen.
If you want to do 5k oil changes, best to switch back to Castrol GTX or any cheapo oil as you'll have no significant advantage using synthetic for short periods of time.
