Engine oil Mobil or Castrol

Castrol Engine oil

I use Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 on mine.

It’s thicker oil, so I feel like it gives the engine better protection. With 272k miles on it, I figured why not.

Pros: better engine protection
Cons: thicker oil
Mileage: 437734 km

Mobil1 x1 1000 15w40 in all my cars. My engines are clean and quiet, oil pick-ups don't clog, there's a nice permanent oil coating everywhere.

Pros: engines clean and quiet

I’ve been running Castrol GTX 10w30 conventional in my 9000 Aero. Brought it to a Saab specialist and he recommended it. Need to have the valve seals redone and the oil is thick enough that it doesn’t get past the seals and no smoke. No issues running it. I change it every 3 months regardless of how far I’ve driven.

Pros: no issues running it
Cons: thick enough, no smoke
Vehicle: Saab 9000

I'm apparently the least informed person here (never done an oil analysis), but FWIW I seem to be fine with Mobil-1 0w40 on a 996.2 with 208k miles.

Pros: fine with Mobil-1
Vehicle: Porsche
Mileage: 334745 km

Castrol Power 1 isn't a bad oil, but I'd say not the best either. I have only used LiquiMoly as an alternative, so far and I rate is better than the Castrol but it did cost almost 2x as much too.

Pros: alternative to Castrol
Cons: Castrol not the best
