    Thumbs up Castrol Edge sport 5w30 doing wonders

    hey guys just giving a total thumbs up for castrol edge 5w30 on the bora v6' 4motion motors.



    ~i had pretty obvious timing chain noise and this stuff has completely eliminated the noise and has made the engine so damn quiet.

    ~cold starts have also improved dramatically as engine reaches temp quickly.

    ~oil consumption has also plummeted and engines responds nice and smooth to this oil.

    ~and offcoarse the oil complies with VW: 502 00/505 00.

    what else could you ask for.

    highly recomended.

    Too be honest I found it a little thin for a motor that's done 130k

    It actually created noises

    I'll be going a bit thicker next change - prob 10w40 magnatec.

    royal purple usually retails for around $100 which may seem overkill if your running stock in everyday driving.

    supercheap had a deal not long ago which was $29.99 from $59.99 (but that deal has ended) however one of their associates told me they would have the deal again soon if u can wait till end of january that is.

    thank god i bought 5 to last me a while!!!
