    opinion of Castrol 5w50

    Castrol 5W-50 used to be moribundman's second favorite gilded drink. ;-) It worked very well in his Audi SOHC V6 engine, but he has renounced it - another disciple of oil marketing fanaticism. Just kidding mori! ;-) All kidding aside, C 5W-50 works very well in older Euro engines.

    505.01 Oil

    <blockquote>quote:<hr /> That's not correct. VW 500.00 oils were generally full synthetic oils. I used them (BP Strato and BP Visco) in the late '80s in both my VW Scirocco. VW 505.01 are usually Group III or semi-synths as you say. <hr /></blockquote>Mori, that is correct. Most 500 00...

    Best 5W-40 synthetic?

    BC 5W-40 meets 502 00 approval with a unique formulation of group 3,4,5 oils and an additive package that is high in Mg - 1000 ppm. I believe this is the preferred oil for many Audi/VW engines with low-tension rings that can't scrap Mobil 1, GC, and other "real" synthetic oils off their...
