Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL

We're big Motul guys around here!

My N54 hated any variant of Mobil1 sad to say. When I had American vehicles they all seemed to love it however. Currently running Motul 300V on a FBO, occasional E85 mixed N54 and wish I used it from day one.

I put some Castrol 0w20, no issues.

2016- 130k miles and counting. Stage 1+ tune (Bren tuning). Clutch @ 90k. AOS is great. Motul oil every 4K miles- get the fumoto oil drain valve to make it easy.

I do Motul @ 5k.

I’m at 133k with no weird noises, knocks, etc.

Castrol mangnetec gave me good performance but in city conditions it gave inconsistent fuel economies for me and under normal cruising speed 80-90 it performed really good. But for me it felt like reaching higher speeds above 100 felt slower compared to shell. Initial pick up of my car felt higher with this oil.

for my Focus mk1 2002 1.6 i use Ford motorcraft at the last 2 changes but motul 8100 is totally fine, prev owner used it for 50-60k kms without issues(i know the owner, the mechanic, and i got a huge pile of paper as service history). odo is close to 280k. oil consumption is 0.5-1.0litre / 10000km depends how heavy my shoe is on highways. most important is oil spec and visco. any “good named” brand from valid source will work perfectly. i prefer motul and eneos, but this is just me, they do exactly the same: works no question. just change it regularly. i do mine at every 10-12k but i commute to work 100km 4 times a week, my oil barely operates cold.

I use Motul 300V Power 5W-30 Engine Oil w/ESTER Core Technology. I have zero complaints.

I did burn more Castrol than kroon. now i cannot get kroon and changed to Motul which seems to burn faster than kroon.

I tried Castrol and was not a fan, found it burned faster than any oil I used.
