Castrol edge 5w30 or castrol edge turbo diesel 5w40. both excelent choices
It is important if where you are living has a long winter or summer, but I always used Castrol Edge 10w60 Sinthetic.
I always use Castrol RS or Castrol Edge 10w60 Sport Synthetic. Motul , the french brand has the excellent 300 V 15 w50 Competition. But it is important the where y0ou live, if its cold or hot climate.
Use recommended oil - Shell helix ultra diesel sae 5w40 or Shell helix ultra extra 5w30 if you have dpf installed. Otherwise you can use castrol edge turbo diesel 5w40, or Q8 excel diesel 5w40.
This is from Castrols customer service after I emailed them this same question... Our previous Castrol SYNTEC product has been improved, renamed and repackaged as Castrol EDGE with Syntec Power Technology (SPT) however it remains in a black bottle and is fully compatible for use with the previous Castrol SYNTEC product so as always, you can use the same SAE grade of either product together for 'topping off' purposes without fear. The new Castrol EDGE with SPT is not only as good as the previous Castrol SYNTEC product that you were using but better!
Castrol edge 0W30
Castrol Egde! Syntec isn't a true synthetic. True synthetics have something called paoi additives. Syntec does not have this. Edge on the other hand is a true synthetic. It has the paoi contents in the oil. Also Edge is the factory fill for exotic auto makers such as Aston Martin, and Bugatti. Syntec on the other hand has no such credentials. Edge also has the 15,000 mile/once a year drain itervals.(which I still don't recommend) Syntec has no drain interval garuntee. So your answer is Castrol Edge. The worlds only advanced synthetic motor oil.
The best Oil for this Model VW is Castrol Edge Professional 5W 30 or Castrol Sports 5W 30
Yes you can. I spoke to Castrol customer service on 16 Feb 12 and asked if I could mix a left over 1 gallon bottle of the older Syntec with the newer Edge formula I just purchased. I was told as long as they are the same viscosity, they can be mixed.
