Castrol EDGE Euro is also VW 508 spec.
The mechanic is absolutely wrong. You must use a 5W-40 C3 oil with the Fiat 9.55535-S2 specification, I use the Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 C3, which is cheap and easy to find, but any other brand with the correct specification is fine. A 0W-20 oil has insufficient pressure and film strength, and will lead to damage over time.
The 508 spec gets you better mpg and less dirty emissions. Gotta look at the bottle carefully. Mobil ESPX2 0w20 has that spec.
262k miles here on an M54B30 with 10k changes, Mobil 1, it's running great.
It should be fine. I use Mobil 1 and it's worked great.
I have a 450k km 1.9 tdi, and a 300k km 1.6 tdi, i always use 5w30 castrol, no issue.
I would only suggest using \"premium\" oil brands, like Castrol or Elf, in correct specification.
Castrol Power1 is really good though
Expensive. I’d stick to Mobil 1 or Kirkland
Mobil 1 for me is like water in this car. I ran it for the longest time till I was tuned but switched over
