Employed at a VW-Audi dealership I see they offer a Castrol 5w-30 lube labeled "SLX Professional LL03" in a gold bottle, made in Austria, imported to Canada VW 504 & 507 ACEA C3 specd.
For almost all late model Audis and VW the factory OCI is 10k miles or 365 days, almost regardless of motor size, excepting the Lambo engined R8 and such.
For the majority of customers oil changes, they get the bulk oil of which brand is unknown to me or the parts guys but is supposed to be 100% synthetic.
The gold bottled Austrian Castrol SLX is by customer request and for the more higher performance vehicles.
How good -or not- is this stuff?
