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!
The car take Castrol Syntec 5w40
I use Castrol 5w30.
5w-30. The factory and most dealers use Castrol. I use Castrol Syntec Blend partial synthetic.
castrol syntec 0w30 or mobile1 0w40 both are LL-1 BMW approved oil.
i have a 2002 vw golf tdi, i found a oil that i use that is approved by vw, its a castrol syntec 5w-40
As long as you choose 5W30 Castrol, it will be fine.
Use Oil that meets 229.5 specifications, my preference is Mobil 1 0W-40 European Car Formula fully synthetic. There is also castrol syntec 0w30 aka german castrol. mobil1 0w40 can be found at almost any autoparts store or walmart, whereas castrol syntec 0w30 can be found at autozone.
