Castrol 5W30 over achieves.
I figured why not giive it a try and see how DINO performs in our motors. I do a lot of stop/go which consists of 70% streetsand 30% highway. I decided after my most recent oil change that I would switch to Mobil 5W30. I will send in another sample at my next oil change to check for differences if any.

Ive been running Castrol since i switched to synthetic in this car. I ran a lot of Mobil 1 in the past but after the went to a class 3 oil i decided to go with the Castrol which i beleive is a class 4/5 synthetic. Cars ran great since. I changed the oil after 4k miles and the oil looked great.

wow, thanks for sharing!!!
I was considering trying some synthetic when I hit 10K, now I might not since the report indicates it wont do much other than drain the pockets a bit more than DINO..... OP looks like you need to have your VQ cut back on the pretzels, seems like it has a bit more sodium than the universal average,
j/k maybe that is a good thing. ![Confused2](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/confused2.gif)
Thanks Again!!!

I've always used mobile1 synthetic since the first oil change in all my cars.... i don't notice anything different about it, but i just use it b/c it's fairly cheap to buy (~22-25 bucks) so why not... Plus i try to change my oil every ~4-5K miles (I drive ALOT, 15-20k miles/year easily) so i don't want to change my oil so often with dino oil....
