Engine oil Castrol or RED LINE

Castrol full sinthetic.

Or Motul 7100, even better.

I use Castrol on my z4. Works like a charm

Castro Synth. is all i ever used in my BMW 60,000miles runs perfect change every 7,000 miles

(5w-40)

After some research I heard people use 5w40 to quiet the motor down and lubricate the lifters better for high mileage engines. picked up some castrol edge 5w-40 and it runs buttery smooth, noticeably quieter and another big thing is oil consumption drops A LOT due to the oil being thicker and harder to burn or leak. I used to need maybe a quart a month now Ik down to half a quart a month.

I use this Castrol Edge 5w40 for 5 years already in my e46’s m54b30. No issues. Trying to stick to 10k km intervals.

In my e39 M54B30 473k km I am dumping Castrol Magnatec 5w-40.

Nothing to complain.

I use castrol 5w-40 Euro on my 2006 Revup. Good oil pressure on hot SoCal days and burns less oil.

I have an MX-5 with that engine, Mazda uses Castrol Edge 0w20 but you can use a heavier oil and sime say it reduces wear. The purpose of the 20 weight is fuel economy.

I live in Turkey vw service uses Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL

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.
