Engine oil Castrol or AMSOIL

AMSOIL Engine oil

On my 25’ Ranger Raptor I’ve done oil change at 500, 2500 and 5000 miles. Will continue every 5k. I run Amsoil signature series 5w30, with MC filter. Ford recommends 10k.

Pros: continue every 5k
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
Mileage: 500 km

Castrol Engine oil

2014 VW Passat 1.8TSI engine. 249k miles. Did the recommended oil change at every 10k until 125, then every 5 k. Transmission fluid change every 80k, looking back, will switch to 60k, just to be safe.

Pros: regular oil changes, transmission fluid change
Cons: dealer flushed coolant, clogged core
Mileage: 249000 km

Castrol Engine oil

I've been using Castrol GTX High Mileage for almost 10 years in my 2009. I've always done 10,000 mile changes and I've got 298,000 miles on it. Blackstone tests on my 10,000 mile oil say it should be good for another 2000 miles.

Pros: oil good for mileage
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 298000 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

I\u2019ve been using Amsoil Sig Series ever since my first break-in oil change. I used it in my old turbo Cobalt SS that I drove like a jackass when I was younger too. Never had any engine issues and Blackstone analysis shows that up to a 4,500 mile oil change interval is safe for my WRX.

Pros: no engine issues
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 4500 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil always over anyone. I started with AMSOIL in 2004 and after pulling my Hayabusa Engine @ 20k miles to build for a turbo kit, the engine teardown was perfect, the block, pistons and bearings looked entirely new.

Pros: engine teardown was perfect
Mileage: 20000 km

Castrol Engine oil

It\u2019ll be okay. Subaru engines are robust and that mix rate won\u2019t increase the viscosity enough to affect the oil flow rate out to the cams.\nPardon my skepticism regarding Castrol oils though. Haven\u2019t been a fan of them since the GTX days. The additives they\u2019d chuck in their generically sourced base oils glazed bores and gummed lifters.\nCost many a machine shop like ours a fortune in comeback work.

Cons: glazed bores, gummed lifters
Vehicle: Subaru
