Better to use cheap oil and change often than to buy expensive oil and run it out to 10k+ miles. Personally I typically use Castrol products and change my gasoline engines at 3k and Diesel engines at 5k miles.

Pros: use Castrol products

Cons: cheap oil

Vehicle: Jeep

Mileage: 3000 km

I use the castrol gtx high mile full synthetic 10w-40 and a sohn adapter with ideimitsu. I’m sure non of the name brands will hurt As long as you change it frequently.

Pros: change it frequently

I change every 10,000 km - 7000 mi.

Castrol or Mobil full synthetic.

To me that is much better than running any brand of oil longer.

Pros: better than running longer

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 10000 km

I was using the OEM Castrol 5w40 and recently switched to Castrol European Formula 0w40. I found that I had the oil level drop a bit (oil burn perhaps) with the latter. For the current change I went back to OE Castrol and will see if things go back to no level drop.

Pros: no oil level drop (OEM 5w40)

Cons: oil level drop (European Formula 0w40)

Vehicle: Audi TT
