Which oil do did you use?

Auto · 06-21-2008, 05:01 PM

Castrol EDGE Sport 0W-40 or 5W-30 is what I'm planing to change with in my car.

What sort did you use?

WhiteOne · 06-22-2008, 10:02 AM

Nothing that would void my warranty.

German Castrol 0W - 30.

TPLSM3 · 07-08-2008, 09:28 PM

GC 0w-30 seems to be the preferred oil. Any reason behind that? I just picked up a case of the BMW 5w30 synthetic for my first oil change. Should I get GC 0w-30 instead or am I fine with the BMW oil?

mikeo · 07-08-2008, 09:45 PM

I think you're good to go with the BMW oil. GC 0-30 is popular because it is held in high regard at bobstheoilguy.com

Make that RLI SHP 5W-40.(biobased synthetic)
BMW 5W-30 is not true synthetic oil.
GC 0W-30 is true synthetic oil.

Papito135 · 08-09-2008, 06:22 PM

I thought Germany imports all its oils from other countries, referring to the so call german castrol.

WhiteOne · 08-09-2008, 07:40 PM

Synthetic oil is made in a laboratory.
It is not based on dino juice.

So GC is "made" in Germany.
