Castrol 5W-40 Eurocar. I live in the northeast and park outside. Car has been solid and I've used this oil since I bought it. 65k miles later, I see no reason to make a change now.
Previous comments about mobil 1 are right it’s best for reliability - castrol are seen as high performance oils
5W-30 Castrol Edge. FPRS uses it and has had very few failures on stock motor cars. I was also running it in my GR86, and Blackstone came back perfect on that car.
Castrol in my daily driver. The daily would have a slight ticking when warming up with other brands, not with Castrol, so I been using it for over 100k with no issues.
Have a look on Amazon they do some good deals on oil, I normally stick it in my basket and wait for it to drop.
My old car was Castrol 5w30 Magnatec, £28.50 for 4l on Amazon £43.99 from euro.
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
Using Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 after watching a EN owner on YouTube suggested it. Car runs great in this 110 plus days in Texas
I did 100k on Castrol gtx in an f4i plus tens of thousands on other bikes using the same oil. I buy it in bulk and it goes in the whole fleet.
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.
Stay away from the stuff that the dealer puts in, the Euro Car formula(5w-30 i believe) that Castrol makes is a Blend, meaning not fully synthetic and it shears and burns really quick.
