I personally use Castrol in all my vehicles, and if I buy used cars I preform an oil flush and start using castrol immediately.
In my 2020 A6 I had aral oil and it consumed 1l of oil in 15k km. Then I used castrol LL and now it does not consume a drop at all.
I like to use Castrol Edge Racing with the 278cc HPE2, made a big difference to running temps, top speed and effiviency.
2013 Volvo XC 90. Owned since new, only used Penzoil Euro L formulation, all synthetic, 10W-30 and 143K miles later I had to get rid of her because I left the country. No engine issues at all.
I go for Castrol for BMW. Somehow this machine really likes it.
Switched to Pennzoil Platinum for my current car and the engine is noticeably quieter (doesn't have the same mild clattery-ness from the valvetrain like with Mobil 1), and it doesn't burn either
I’ve been using castrol edge euro 0w-40 for years and loved it. Seems to be discontinued, can’t find it anymore. That sucks, moving to mobil 1 euro 0w-40.
I run Castrol Power 1 in my KTM 350 4T. I'm just past 800 hrs with \~25hr oil changes. It meets the JASO specs my bike requires. I have not changed a clutch ever since I bought it at 280 hrs. I had the motor apart at 500hrs and the Nicasil bore coating was \*perfect\*. That was the last time I swapped out the piston.
Castrol makes a Edge Euro 5w-30 and 5w-40 that is LL-01 and ACEA A3/B4, it's not going to meet the later LL requirements because it's higher viscosity and not as fuel conserving, also not low SAPS so potentially it could contribute to more intake valve buildup
Also when using thinner oils you should probably use a higher quality oil like penzoil or valvoline since they tend to have extra anti wear additives as oppose to garbage like mobile oil
