Engine oil Castrol or VALVOLINE

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Mobil 1 "eh" oil. It's okay, not bad like royal purple but better off on Vavoline or Pennzoil. Also Motul but that's expensive shit. Amsoil is okay, it's one step above OEM.

Pros: better off
Cons: not bad

My 2007 camry is on 22k km (engine 2AZ-AE). No oil burning so far. Always been using penrite 5w-30 while servicing between 5000 to 8000. Only one time had burning smell while running engine on Valvoline 10W-30. Changed the oil at 3k, after that smooth as it was.

Pros: smooth, no oil burning
Cons: burning smell
Mileage: 22000 km

Eh if it’s VW approved then it’s fine. I just use Castrol Euro or Valvoline Euro and haven’t had any issues.

Pros: no issues

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Last oil change I put in Valvoline R&P 5W-30. The final 500 miles before the oil change I added Rislone and it changed the color of the oil from light to dark brown. When I got the car it was using a quart in about 2200-2500 miles.

Pros: reduced oil consumption
Cons: oil color changed
Vehicle: Kia Soul
Mileage: 7000 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Been reading user anecdotes about R&P for a while now, and it's like 98% positivity among those who reported oil consumption before using R&P and seeing substantial improvement after.

My Miata isn't currently burning an oil at all, but I put R&P in it and I intend to change it every 3k because it makes me sleep well.

Pros: substantial improvement
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 3000 km

Castrol Engine oil

I’m stupid and like Castrol. Is it any better than the Walmart 5w30 synthetic? No. It just usually comes with a filter if I buy it with a coupon.

Pros: comes with filter
Cons: not better than Walmart

Hi, I have a MK6 2.5L Golf that I changed the oil in at 78,510 miles (126,350km) and is currently at 81,260 miles (130,775.3km) only 2,750 miles (4425.7km) later. I happened to catch a ticking so I checked the oil and the dip-stick/oil pan was bone dry.

Cons: oil pan bone dry
Mileage: 126350 km
