Oil is always pretty clean when I drain it.<br /><br />97 Audi I use 5/30 Castrol. 76,000 miles I wish I could afford synthetic for that car but I can't so regular 5/30 for that. Car is 'ok' on it. I can feel the performace difference between the two. Smoother and more responsive with the synthetic. <br /><br />70 VW Ghia I use 20/50 Castrol 142,000 miles give or take 100,000. DMV fucked up my pink slip and zero'd out the milage after I had all the paper work to prove the 142,000 miles, that beside the point. 20/50 -don't know how well the car like it yet. <br /><br />In the 04 Pacifica 45,000 miles I use 10/30 Castrol, cars manual calls for 10/30 so F'it. I put 5/30 in it once because I bought a case for the Audi. Pacifica seemed ok on it but the 10/30 feels better,.could be in my head.<br /><br />If you haven't noticed Castrol!! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 12, 2007, 04:24 PM: Message edited by: Jdub07 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>nor*cal93ssp</b> <br /><small>Member # 3884</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,2,13,2,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 10w-30 Moblil 1 synthetic...abit pricey but if you can spare a little change it'll save you in the long run. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,2,13,2,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I use 20-50 castrol gtx in my 180k mile stock vert.<br /><br />I run wal-mart brand (relabeled valvoline) 10/30 full synthetic in my truck and mustang. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>89FoxLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 7197</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,2,13,4,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Castrol 10w/30.
