Shell Engine oil

First oil change after filling with T-6 on my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that didn't have a kit on it) I bought with 130k miles on it was really black, almost a bit sludgy. Next few oil changes quickly got better as the detergent broke down sludge in the top end and cleaned the motor up.

Pros: detergent broke down sludge
Cons: oil was sludgy
Vehicle: Saab
Mileage: 130000 km

Castrol Engine oil

I’ve been using castrol edge euro 0w-40 for years and loved it. Seems to be discontinued, can’t find it anymore. That sucks, moving to mobil 1 euro 0w-40.

Pros: loved it
Cons: seems discontinued
Vehicle: BMW

I run Castrol Power 1 in my KTM 350 4T. I'm just past 800 hrs with \~25hr oil changes. It meets the JASO specs my bike requires. I have not changed a clutch ever since I bought it at 280 hrs. I had the motor apart at 500hrs and the Nicasil bore coating was \*perfect\*. That was the last time I swapped out the piston.

Pros: perfect bore coating

Currently using Castrol Edge 5w-40 fully synthetic, previously was using Estremo Heatpro 5w-40 FS, differences is so minimal to the point where you just neglect and forget about it....

Smoothness the same, silky smooth.

Car feels slightly like just slightly lighter on pickup with Castrol.

Pros: silky smooth, lighter pickup
Cons: minimal differences
Vehicle: Volvo XC90

I used castrol edge on my last change but I don't like the way the oil looks after a few months of driving. Of course it was extreme temperatures down here in South Texas. Wonder if the extreme heat caused my oil to look kinda jello looking haha.

Cons: oil looks kinda jello
