Great to hear, this was always likely to be the oil I used for my next change, you've confirmed it now...
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.

Nothing to see here...
ditto here... bit pi55ed at Supercheap after missing out on their last prom for this oil. I went to one store who had sold out. They called another store and reserved 2 bottles. Then I got to said second store only to find out none had been put away!! grrr... now have to wait.
'03 Bora V6 4motion ~ CC Flash ~ Neuspeed F&R ARB ~ .:R optioned - Bilsteins,Springs,shifter,steering ~ Tyrol Brake kit ~ EVOMS CAI
yeh this oil's nice. using it in the gti and have had no dramas at all. also picked up a bottle cheap at supercheap. shoulda got 3..
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.
as long ur happy......Sorry only one oil for me Royal Purple
I've heard some great things about that stuff.
Price on this oil?
2000 Mk IV GTI
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!!!
