Engine oil Castrol or OEM Honda

I use Castrol GTX full-synthetic 10W-40, as I live in Texas where the average temperature is hotter than the rest of the US and oil weather varies drastically. During the summer, I've considered bumping up to 15w-40 due to how hot my startup temps are on a "cold start".

I put castrol, engine sounds better to my liking, anyway make sure to check the user manual for the EXACT OIL CAPACITY AND TYPE

I’ve always used castrol edge on my old cars, and the oil comes out cleaner every time I do an oil change. That’s been my experience

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.

I just run castrol edge on mine. No issues.

I myself use Castrol Edge (in 0W20) for my GJ. But I add a bottle of Lubro Moly MoS2, for that added molybdenum (mimics OEM moly infused Mazda 0W20).

Been running Euro blend Castrol a few years and happy with it. Engine is getting close to 200k, modified, driven aggressively. I'm sticking with works for me.

been using Castrol edge 5w-30 for the past 5 years My WRX engine still feels responsive but i know 5-40w is good overhead for high temps

If you want to do 5k oil changes, best to switch back to Castrol GTX or any cheapo oil as you'll have no significant advantage using synthetic for short periods of time.
