VW oil (Quantum) is rebranded Castrol oil.

Be carefull with Mobil, there is only one type of oil approved by VW and thats the 5W-30 ESP stuff.  European standard oils are better than the American API standard.

Stay away from BP products (Castrol, Arco, Aral, am/pm, Amoco, and Wild Bean Cafe).

Atleast I will cause they pretty much ruined the Gulf of Mexico. But this is only my opinion  :happy2:
