I was playing around with the oil selector tool on the Pennzoil website for my 2016 Jetta 1.4 TSI and I noticed they are recommending the Euro LX 0w30 ACEA C2/C3 formulation. Isn't this a "low SAPS" diesel type oil? (yes I realize it can be used in gasoline engines) I guess I just thought this was a VW 507 oil for fuel types in Europe or US diesel only primarily. Does Pennzoil not realize that this engine is not a diesel? I was nearly certain I would get a 5w40 or 0w40 A3/B4 oil so when it spit this out I was quite surprised.
Also, I have owned several VW and Audi products and always used the Castrol Edge 5w40 oil like it says on the cap (dealer oil changes mostly) -- I have been doing some of my own oil changes again recently and really been wanting to try a Pennzoil product. The thing is, I'm looking at viscosity numbers and noack volatility and spec sheets and I'm coming away pretty impressed with Castrol. Anyone have any thoughts?
