After some research I heard people use 5w40 to quiet the motor down and lubricate the lifters better for high mileage engines. picked up some castrol edge 5w-40 and it runs buttery smooth, noticeably quieter and another big thing is oil consumption drops A LOT due to the oil being thicker and harder to burn or leak. I used to need maybe a quart a month now Ik down to half a quart a month.

Pros: runs buttery smooth, quieter
Cons: high mileage engines
Mileage: 200000 km

I use castrol 5w-40 Euro on my 2006 Revup. Good oil pressure on hot SoCal days and burns less oil.

Pros: good oil pressure, less oil burn

Castrol Engine oil

I have an MX-5 with that engine, Mazda uses Castrol Edge 0w20 but you can use a heavier oil and sime say it reduces wear. The purpose of the 20 weight is fuel economy.

Pros: reduces wear
Cons: fuel economy
Vehicle: Mazda

I was using the OEM Castrol 5w40 and recently switched to Castrol European Formula 0w40. I found that I had the oil level drop a bit (oil burn perhaps) with the latter. For the current change I went back to OE Castrol and will see if things go back to no level drop.

Pros: no oil level drop (OEM 5w40)
Cons: oil level drop (European Formula 0w40)
Vehicle: Audi TT
