High mileage oils like Castrol edge have more detergents than other oils, not a marketing gimmick.

Change my e90 n52 every 15k, castrol titanium 10w-40. blackstone reports confirm the oil still meets spec with plenty of detergents left. Showing no signs of wear at 170k.

Pros: meets spec, no wear

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 15000 km

Pros: added molybdenum

I personally used to run mobil 1 0w-40. as you said its super thin and seemed to just barely get the job done. Recently switched to castrol SLX 5w-30 and I am decently pleased with the first two changes.

Pros: decently pleased

Cons: super thin, barely got job done
