Engine oil Castrol or FUCHS

Castrol Engine oil

I switched to synthetic after doing a piston soak. Sticking with synthetic here on out. I initially ran conventional Castrol 5/30 then blend as conventional was not available through Amazon and then synthetic to try to stave off carbon build up on rings after a successful piston soak.

Pros: stave off carbon build

I've been using Castrol Edge 5w-40 for years and have had good results, but wondering what others are using. I initially used Mobil1 0w-40 but got a lot of lifter noise which disappeared after switching to Castrol.

Pros: good results, quiet operation
Cons: lifter noise with Mobil1

My 25 year old Camry requires 5W-30 and I use Castrol Edge. I also put 1 litre of Castrol GTX 15W-40 oil into the mix - it's supposed to have anti sludge properties and also lowers the overall cost.

Pros: anti sludge properties
Cons: lowers overall cost

From my experience with a Toyota echo; does not matter the brand, only the type. My echo was a 10w40 semi synthetic. once she started consuming a little more oil, I was then just filling her up with any 10w40 semi synthetic I could afford. There was no difference of her running on Castrol vrs the mixed bag of what it ended up with, as I always put Castrol as my oil of choice for a complete change.

Pros: no difference in running
Vehicle: Toyota Echo

Castrol makes a Edge Euro 5w-30 and 5w-40 that is LL-01 and ACEA A3/B4, it's not going to meet the later LL requirements because it's higher viscosity and not as fuel conserving, also not low SAPS so potentially it could contribute to more intake valve buildup

Pros: quite good oil
Cons: intake valve buildup
Vehicle: BMW

I used castrol edge on my last change but I don't like the way the oil looks after a few months of driving. Of course it was extreme temperatures down here in South Texas. Wonder if the extreme heat caused my oil to look kinda jello looking haha.

Cons: oil looks kinda jello
