Engine oil Castrol or RED LINE

Castrol Engine oil

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

RED LINE Engine oil

I use redline hp 5w30 for my n54. 7500 mi intervals. I’m at 113k miles currently. At about 90k I send my oil off to blackstone for an oil analysis. Came back in very good shape and they indicated I could easily go to a 10k mi interval.

Pros: very good shape
Mileage: 181126 km

Pros: no oil burning
Cons: 0w-20 seems too light
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 48000 km

And one thing I would definitely do is get the Castrol out of there if you intend to keep the car long-term. The recent changes to the oil we are delivered at the dealer is crazy!!! It's not the same as it used to be and I can tell a huge difference in my cars. Have had excess oil consumption, lower MPG and quicker deterioration of the oil over last 6 months using Castrol(and I work at dealer)

Pros: lower MPG
Cons: excess oil consumption
Vehicle: Volkswagen
