Engine oil Castrol or Total

I use the 5W-40 in my e46.

Castrol semi synthetic Actevo for my F800st.

I've always been a Castrol man for my BMW car.

Castrol Power 1 ultimate is great and cheaper too.

but real talk: Castrol GTX Synthetic 10w40 in Tennessee summers and 5w40 in winter.

5W30 Castrol edge full synthetic

Castrol Syntec 5W-30, because of this: [https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/258663-vq-oil-analysis-and-info.html](https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/258663-vq-oil-analysis-and-info.html)

Between it and the Castrol Syntec 0W-30 it has less wear indicators in the oil than any other brand, at any other weight.

Redline and motul are the best but I’ve been running catrol for 50k+.

As far as the castrol goes I bought a used 2018 Kia soul that had a slight knock in the engine for ultra cheap and I was able to make that sound go completely away once I switched to Castrol edge. My vehicle also seamed to burn a lot less oil.

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)
