I replaced the plugs, oil/filter and air filter with oem parts when I got it. I\u2019ve been changing the oil at 5k intervals with the recommended Castrol 0w-20.
Pros: oem parts
Mileage: 96560 km
I run Castrol (bought at Walmart), like my father and his father did before me...
I use it in my non deleted CJAA (dumb) but I haven't had any issues (yet) and it doesn't burn oil.
Pros: no issues, doesn't burn oil
2014 VW Passat 1.8TSI engine. 249k miles. Did the recommended oil change at every 10k until 125, then every 5 k. Transmission fluid change every 80k, looking back, will switch to 60k, just to be safe.
Pros: regular oil changes, transmission fluid change
Cons: dealer flushed coolant, clogged core
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 249000 km
I've been using Castrol GTX High Mileage for almost 10 years in my 2009. I've always done 10,000 mile changes and I've got 298,000 miles on it. Blackstone tests on my 10,000 mile oil say it should be good for another 2000 miles.
Pros: oil good for mileage
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 298000 km
Always used Castrol in my cars when I\u2019ve had the choice and never had a problem.
Pros: never had a problem
On my previous car, a VW Golf 7 2.0 TDI I used to change the oil (Castrol 5W30 Long Life) every 12000km.
Pros: turbo has fresh oil
Cons: diesel makes oil dirty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 12000 km
Had an 02 explorer with the 4.0 that had 286,000 and still running like a champ when I sold it. It was on its second transmission and everything in the vehicle was falling apart but that motor never once had an issue. Regular maintenance and oil changes every 10 to 15k using Castrol GTX fully synthetic
Pros: motor never had an issue
Cons: vehicle was falling apart
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Mileage: 286000 km
I put some Castrol 0w20, no issues.
Pros: no issues
