Engine oil Castrol or PENNZOIL

Pennzoil. I've run conventional, semi synthetic, and full synthetic. Nearly 200k miles, still kicking like a mule. 7500 mile oil changes on the reg, some to 9000. No signs of slowing down.

I've always run Castrol with no issues. The biggest thing is to make sure that whatever oil you use meets the spec required by your engine.

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".

Pennzoil ultra platinum often goes on sale or has rebates, I'll stock up a couple years supply when it does.

0W-30 VW 504 spec Penzoil Euro Platinum is all I use in my MK7.5.

Pennzoil has been pretty good to me. Not pushy.

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.
