I use Castrol for my 05 320 cdi. It meets the extended service oil spec, but I run it as "regular" oil.

I use for 2 years Castrol 5w30 its perfect after for top up i use Ina (croatian motor oil) and works perfect
My 2006 WRX has 323k on Castrol 10w-30.
I run Castrol GTX conventional oil in my 1972 Chevy C10 (350). I also ran that in a 1976 BMW 2002 I had in the 80s.
I used the Castrol once, and have been buying the assembled kit from ECS ever since. At 73K miles, now, and change it every 7-8K.
I'm a Castrol syntec guy and I like Kirkland oil. So that's what my cars get.
I'm personally running Castrol in the BMW bottle.
Got some numbers for the oil pressure Water temp around 90-95C/194F. Ambient temp 28C/82F Oil 5W30 Castrol Edge LL Hot idle 20 PSI 2000RPM 60 PSI 3-5000RPM 70 PSI Looks okay?
I’m stupid and like Castrol. Is it any better than the Walmart 5w30 synthetic? No. It just usually comes with a filter if I buy it with a coupon.
I noticed when the castrol 508 spec wears. It smells Faintly of onions and beans. Strange smell indeed, when I took my car to street side VW out of Amarillo, Texas.
