I use Castrol Edge 5W30 LL04 (M). I doubt what you read about sludge is true. Regular oil and filter changes are way more important than which brand you use.

Pros: Regular oil changes important

Vehicle: BMW

I’ve been using T6 for 8 years now and it still lubricates the car. The car burns oil though so it’s always getting fresh stuff.

Pros: still lubricates the car

Cons: car burns oil

Vehicle: Subaru

Castrol. I've just always used it. A bit of advice though, i'd recommend staying away from Pennzoil, I had to clean an engine out after using it. Nasty, waxy stuff.

Cons: nasty, waxy stuff
