Engine oil Castrol or Motorex

In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.

My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.

I use Castrol EDGE Supercar 5w50. Oil change 7000km ????. no problems! Mileage 150 000km . Car from 2014!!

300.000km - oil: Castrol Edge 5W-30 and a new vortex breather - without oil consumption

315.000km - oil: fuchs titan 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption

330.000km - oil: mannol 5W-30 and the old vortex breather - around 1L oil consumption

345.000km - oil: eneos 5W-30 and a filter type breather - without oil consumption

I have been told the same by Blackstone on my cars, though I still do it once a year given the cost is <$75. However, I do follow their advice on intervals, after once being a 5,000 mile interval guy. On all three of our cars, using Castrol Edge 5W-20, I've repeatedly gotten analysis that tells me that, at 7,500-10,000 miles, the oil is still performing as intended.

I've had good luck with Castrol for several years in two WRXs.

If your interval is 30,000km / 20k mi (2Y) then you should use the higher spec VW 503 / 504 (left page) if you have the 15,000km / 10k mi (1Y) interval then you can use the lower grade VW 501 / 502 oil on the right page.

I always use Castrol, good quality oil won't hurt the engine and is just slightly more expensive than off-brands.

I ran Castrol 5W30 full synthetic in the engine.It burned a quart every 3500-4000.

I will never use castrol again, stupid dark bottle is annoying and makes it hard to tell how much is left
