I might switch to liquimoly like a lot of ppl do but I’ve always stuck with the Castrol edge 5w-40, changing around 5k
I mostly use the 0W-40 full synthetic Mobil 1 "European" or w/e they call it. I change my oil every 5K miles, including filter (Mann).
I been using castrol 5w40 since I got the car new at 82 miles no issues. Sent my oil samples to blackstone for analysis and oil is really good even at 10k.
I personally use full synthetic Mobile 1 usually.
That's what the dealer and I use. Castrol 5W40
A few years ago Castrol decided to dye all their Magnatec oils green... it was pretty dark green as well.
I used to use German Castrol 0w20 in my Volvo and it was green too.
I use 10w40 full synthetic oil, and only the best quality stuff. Valvoline, Castrol, Pennsoil, Mobil1, Idemitsu end the like. Before my rebuild, I was using Idemitsu Rotary blend but switched to Castrol GTX. The GTX semi synthetic blend had a slightly lower oil temp and lasted longer per oil change than the Idemitsu, indicating that it was lubricating better.
I think you will find out Castrol EDGE® Euro Car 5W-40 A3/B4 Full Synthetic is a better all around oil then and oil I’ve owned Volkswagen all my life and that’s all I’ve ever run in my vehicles never had a problem and if you want to run the 10,000 miles between oil changes this oil will handle it
So, again, I bought a new one and threw it on just last night. I took it for a ride to get it warmed up and I'm still having low oil pressure.
