5.0 out of 5 stars Helps Reduce Carbon Buildup on the Valves and Reduces Sludge Formation
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

I've delayed reviewing this oil because it takes months or more to be able to say anything worth saying about a motor oil. What I can say about this one is that it definitely reduces carbon buildup on the intake valves of my car's GDI engine.What it all comes down to in a nutshell is that GDI engines don't get the fuel wash effect of gasoline passing over the intake valves like carbureted and port fuel-injected engines do. That means that the hydrocarbon vapors coming from the PCV systems form deposits on the intake valves that never get washed off.Oils like this one are engineered to be less volatile at operating temperatures, which reduces the vapors coming through the PCV system.One of the ways I know this oil is producing less vapor is that the oil level hasn't budged since the last time I checked it. I never considered my car to be an "oil burner;" but this time around, after two oil changes using this oil (with induction system cleanings before each oil change), there's no measurable loss at all.No loss of oil in the crankcase means little or no loss to vapor in the PCV system, which in turn means little or no buildup on the valves.If your car has a GDI or T/GDI engine, therefore, I can recommend this oil as a good choice. There are others, of course; but this is the one we're talking about now, and it's a good one.RichardEDIT: I'm updating this review with borescope video of the head under the valve cover. What I was looking for sludge to decide if it was time for a flush after 50K miles. No flush needed. In fact, I was pretty amazed at how clean it was under there.So not only does this oil reduce carbon in the induction system, but it has excellent detergency as well.

Size: 5 QuartStyle: A3/B4 Advanced Full SyntheticConfiguration: 5W-30Verified Purchase

If your car calls for 5w-30 but it's got more than 100k miles on it, this is your oil. If your car consumes more oil than it should, this is your oil. If you own a Subaru that calls for 5w-30 but you need to use an oil change shop (where they demand to use "what's on the oil filler cap"), THIS IS YOUR OIL. If you own any DIT vehicle that calls for 5w-30, this is your oil.

With an HTHS (high temperature, high shear) of 3.5, this is an incredibly robust 5w-30. Great for hot and cold climates, it's really the successor to the famous green-colored "German Castrol". Oils in-grade have been getting thinner every year as oil formulators bow to pressure for greater fuel mileage and certain green goals. SL to SM to SN and more SN Plus... thinner (lower HTHS) with every single revision. Sure they bolster/tweak additive packages to try and compensate for the thinner formulation.... but those tweaked/improved additive packages get used across the line And end up in these thicker oils as well. BUT, these concessions to short term fuel economy shorten the overall life of your engine. In fact, in the US, your vehicle manufacturer likely demands that you use a thinner oil grade than in nearly every other country. Just Google your vehicle's manual in UAE, India, Mexico, EU, Japan, Indonesia, Africa, etc etc etc. Those manuals are written by engineer's and left alone.... reading as ALL manuals used to; they provide a range of oil weights based on ambient temperature and use case. Just getting groceries and picking the kids up from school in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) or Vermont? 0w-20 is probably just fine for you. Stuck in traffic in Houston, Mexico City, Atlanta, or UAE? Towing through the mountains of Phoenix or Nevada? Running errands in traffic in Miami? Towing a trailer in Southern Turkey? Then 0w-20 is absolutely, empirically not the best oil for you to use. According to the engineers.

Examples:

1) My 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R calls for 5w-30 better in the US, but the Subaru manual for most other counties (from Northern European to African continent) recommends the use of 0w30 all the way up to 5w-40. In Texas, I see average summer temperatures that aren't far off the Middle East And are right in line with most of equatorial Africa and India. HOT. 112F daytime highs, etc etc. There's no one size fits all oil for every climate and the ENGINEERS who wrote the manual for nearly every other country were obviously overwritten by the bean counters for an extra .25mpg (when new) to bolster their Corporate Average Furl Economy scores (CAFE). They don't really care about taking a car that COULD last beyond 300k miles with relatively little maintenance and turning it into a car that only lasts 100-120k. Because that's out of warranty. Car runs noticeably smoother on this than on the thin-for-grade SN-Plus API rated 5w-30 oils. Especially in 108F+ heart, stuck in traffic. It's even quieter at idle. Next example...

3) My 2017 Lexus GX460 calls for 0w-20 here in the US. No option for ANY other oil weight even if you live in Texas or Death Valley and tow a trailer. BUT, in nearly every other country (regardless of geography), the official Lexus/Toyota manual permits the use of engine oils as heavy 20w-50 for very hot climates. YIKES... that's a huge difference. Even at 115k miles, moving to this oil showed a HUGE, obvious increase in engine smoothness at all RPMs and loads, with no measurable effect on MPG. The engine is obviously happier in 108F+ heat with the heavier oil and this comports with the manual for most other countries. The engineers at Toyota/Lexus, when the bean counters actually let them do their jobs, OBVIOUSLY know what they are doing.

I use it in my 2018 GMC Terrain 1.6L Turbo Diesel. It calls for 5w30 Dexos 2 motor oil. Its not readily available where I live so I order it online. You have to be careful of oil because Dexos 1 Gen 2 is readily available and easily confused but it is not good with DPF. I like Castrol oil just because I have used it a lot. I realize it is probably all marketing but what the heck it makes me feel good.

2011 Terrain with 2.4 Engine (105K) SUV loves oil! Bought in early 2020. Didn’t do enough research. That’s on me. Selling dealer says it’s between VIN numbers for recall. So I’ve tried various brands/flavors.
AC Delco went about 700 miles /qt. (Dealer oil change). Brand V Syn went 1000 miles. A couple flavors of M1 went 1200 miles.
Then I tried Castrol Edge 5w-30 in Black 5qt jug- I couldn’t believe oil could make this big a difference! No clatter at startup; very little valve train noise running. (Other reviewers commented on this too). And 2000 mi/ qt!! And no more ‘brown grunge’ under filler lid.

Switching two other cars to Edge……..

Update:
With such good success with Edge Advanced Full synthetic, I thought I’d try the High Mileage version. Just like another reviewer, my oil consumption went up. Now only getting 1000 mi/quart…..just like brands M1 and V synthetics…….not like 2000 mi/qt I got with standard Edge. (Going back to it)

Castrol Synthetic is all I have ever used in my

I Like that it’s good for high mileage vehicles plus it’s the recommended brand in my vehicle Manuel. It’s sometimes more expensive when I’m searching for it, but was a good price when I got it from Amazon this time.

I use full synthetic on the 2011 Hyundai since the manufacturer put a NEW engine in the car. Therefore, since it gets very cold up north, I use this oil for better flow on start up. I change the oil every 3500-5000 miles as well as the filter. I have used Castrol over 40 years in motor cycles, sport cars and my F150 as well and no issues on engines using this oil.

My 07 Toyota Prius is 270k. I usually use Pennzoil full synthetic from auto zone for $33+ for 5 quarts. Now I am paying $27.xx. I brought 5. Very happy I save able to save this much from Amazon! Thank you and will buy again from Amazon. Also, Fast shipping!

I have had this oil the whole time I have owned my 2004 Expedition and it has lasted amazingly. I have Amazon deliver it on subscribe an save every 3 months along with a Fram filter. I know it’s time for an oil change when it shows up. I highly recommend this oil.
