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.
I put used vegetable oil in my Honda Accord 7k intervals has 380,000 miles on it
Always used Castrol in my cars when I\u2019ve had the choice and never had a problem.
On my previous car, a VW Golf 7 2.0 TDI I used to change the oil (Castrol 5W30 Long Life) every 12000km.
Had an 02 explorer with the 4.0 that had 286,000 and still running like a champ when I sold it. It was on its second transmission and everything in the vehicle was falling apart but that motor never once had an issue. Regular maintenance and oil changes every 10 to 15k using Castrol GTX fully synthetic
I put some Castrol 0w20, no issues.
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.
I have a 2012 civic with 220k miles still use Castrol 0w-20. I've been using it since 500 miles switched to the high mileage stuff around 100k
Castrol is fine
I dont know about the newer 1.5t in the crv's, but im getting rid of mine because of the oil dilution issue. Sent out an oil sample and it came back with 8.2% dilution on oil that had 2k miles on it with 0 idle time. All the technical service bulletins have been done and \"nothing\" is wrong with the car.
