Engine oil Castrol or OEM Subaru

My co workers wife had a high mileage Sienna 3.0. Oil leaking from every seal. We started using Castrol high mileage, it stopped leaving spots in his driveway and quit loosing 1.5 qrts between oil changes.

I have stuck with manufacturers till manufacturers recommendation is causing issue, like my gixxer leaked entire oil from companies estar engine oil, switched to castrol power 1, no leak, headache gone and happy riding on it for about a decade now.

Castrol/Mobil1 5W-40. On my JK I change it every 7000 kilometres MAX

the regular castrol gtx high mileage green bottle. I used to use it for a kia rio same as accent and the burning went down a lot

I use 5w-30 Castrol and she runs like a

Dream.

I use Castrol Edge 5W30 LL04 (M). I doubt what you read about sludge is true. Regular oil and filter changes are way more important than which brand you use.

I would also make sure that every time you fill up the gas you check the oil dipstick and if it’s a little low top off the oil. In fact, I think this is probably crucial to owning an older Subaru like mine mine has 300 K.

I second those saying bring a spare quart of oil. I wouldn't be too worried about taking my 2012 Outback at 170K miles on such a trip...but would agree check the oil every 1000 miles or every morning (depending how far you go in a day) just to make sure it isn't getting low.

I’m stupid and like Castrol. Is it any better than the Walmart 5w30 synthetic? No. It just usually comes with a filter if I buy it with a coupon.

Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.
