06 High Mileage MT, need opinions
My 06' MT is at 105k now and currently using Castrol Edge Syntec full synthetic 5 W-30 oil.
Is it okay too switch to Castrol GTX High Mileage Blended Synthetic 5 W-30 at this point?
I'm not sure if the switch from full synthetic to blended will work.
Any other suggestions on oil at this mileage? I would prefer to stay away from Conventional at this point. I want the engine to last for a long time but not have to change oil as frequently as you would for Convrntional oils because I drive a lot.
Thanks for your help!

Honestly, if your not consuming too much oil I would just stick with the full synthetic. The benefits of it are so much greater. If you are finding that you are starting to burn a little bit then maybe try to switch but if not I would just stick with the full synthetic. That is just my opinion.

I guess I should clarify what I meant by "a bit." I'm at about 6k miles from last change and I just put in two quarts of oil. Oil level is now at about the middle of the oil stick measure.
So it's looks like I burned about 2 quarts in 6,000 miles.
