Engine oil Castrol or ZIC
Castrol edge is just fine, even the cheapest one is likely better than whatever was good 20 years ago.
295,000 miles using Castrol GTX high mileage and fram XG filter
Michigan I use 0w20 Castrol Edge all year.
As long as you're not getting cheap gas station brand oil, you'll be fine. I've been using Castrol Edge 5w40.
Mate, just get Castrol Magnatec 5w30 full synthetic and change it every 8000km or 1 year, don't fall for snake oil propoganda
I use Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL Fully Synthetic Engine Oil on my B48 pre LCI G21 no issues at all and complies with BMW specifications
I have a 2010 Jetta TDI cup edition with the CJAA engine and the factory spec listed in the manual is 5W-40… On top of that the oil cap alone has Castrol on it\nSo Castrol 5W-40…. End of story…. I apologize if I sound condescending as I do not mean to and also recognize you may have purchased your vehicle second hand and it may have not come with a manual… But if the top of your 710 aka oil cap says Castrol on it and you truly have a CJAA engine then I guarantee you that Castrol 5W-40 is the proper oil regardless of location or climate Ps…. Anyone who claims to use or recommend anything else has also probably had massive engine problems or engine repairs an question why they had those issues Follow factory spec and maintenance recommendations…. I’m pushing 280k on my CJAA engine without a single issue
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
Daca e motor de la VW atunci recomandarile mele ar fi Liquimoly Longlife III, Motul 8100 X-Clean+, Mobil 1 ESP.
Reprezentantele folosesc in general Castrol Edge LL. Dar eu nu prea sunt impacat cu brand-ul asta.
One time I had the oil bug bite (keera) and I decided to get the best oil. Castrol (I don't remember the number) but it was 340 AED for a gallon. I poured it into the engine and it felt good. That weekend took it for a desert drive and during one of the breaks, the entire oil just leaked out of the main seal. The oil was so good that the engine didn't have the tolerances to hold it back.
