Castrol Engine oil

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

Mobil Engine oil

Mobil1 especially the ESP 5W30, it has certifications from major manufacturers such as MB229, BMW LL, and importantly Porsche C30 certified which is the most strict out there... Also can't be helped that I own a Peugeot which happens to recommend Mobil 1 as well...

12 years running and no major issues so far on the unreliable-ass Prince EP6 Engine.

Pros: no major issues
Cons: unreliable engine
Vehicle: Peugeot

Castrol Engine oil

I use the Castrol Edge oil. I was doing 7500 mile oil changes and on this last one bumped that up to 10k miles. I sent out the oil for analysis to decide if I want to step up to an even larger interval. The comments left by the tester: 'Your CX5's engine looks good in analysis! Your results look really good by comparison after the 10,000 miles. Metals are all within good wear ranges, with iron even showing below-average steel wear. Nice! Titanium is just an additive in Castrol. Very nice! Go 12k miles next fill.' I will heed their advice and go 12,000 miles on this next one.

Pros: engine looks good, good wear ranges, below-average steel wear, recommended 12k miles
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 16093 km

Mobil Engine oil

I work in the automotive industry; and by far, Liqui Molly, Motul, and Total exceed Mobil 1. Mobil 1 has the recognition and they worked hard at marketing for many years. Independent German studies conclude that they are 3rd place at best when it comes to \"good quality\" oils.

Pros: good quality oils
Cons: 3rd place at best
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have been running Mobil 1 0w-40 since new with over 50k miles on different Big turbo(80k total miles) setups and always replacing seals and gaskets due to oil leaks(its some really thin oil).

Cons: oil leaks, too thin
Mileage: 80467 km
