Oil Choice?

[Dan_FR]

Quantum 5W40 for me. I'd rather change it twice as often :)

[Broomy]

Castrol edge 5w30 here.

[boustie]

Quantum 5 40 more than good enough.
I have a customer who runs s3 in European drag series and buys quantum 5 40 from us..

Millers nano 5w40 

[richtung]

As long as the oil meets VW LONG LIFE 3 standards, you should be fine. However, most members on here run either Castrol Edge 5w30 or Millers Nanodrive CFS 5w40.

I have a standard ED30 and use the Millers stuff.

I think a lot of this is placebo.
No one is going to keep the car long enough to see the effects of engine wear etc by using different oils.
It's mainly product loyalty, as long as the oil meets the spec.

So anyone running the Millers Nanodrive CFS 5w40 oil, can you even notice a difference when you changed to this oil?

What did you actually notice?

[xjay1337]

Reduced oil temps by about 8-10 degrees
smoother sounding engine when up to operating temperature.

Another quantum always have always will

[DomBacon]

What about the performance gains so they claim

I'm using Castrol Professional Magnetec 5/40 in my Tuned Ed30..My oil consumption has seemed to have stopped since using it weirdly?

Do you mean Castrol Edge Steve? That's the stuff that meets the VW spec

[Saintsteve]

It's in a green bottle Graeme    and no it's not edge, and yes it's VW approved long life.
