The ads prompt that Castrol Edge provides 8 times better protection wear than Mobil 1. I use Mobil 1 lol. So I was wondering if Castrol Edge is legit, they sure have charts and scientific proof that it's better than Mobil 1, I wanna know what the 6gc members think though. Thanks guys!

I only use synthetics oils simply because it just makes more sense. Considering you drive a car for 100k miles every 7 years (average American driving habits) and you change your oil every 3k miles. You will only change the oil 33 times. On average it cost 10 dollars more for synthetic vs normal oil so your spending $350 more on oil. For $350 over the coarse of 7 years your getting better wear protection, better gas mileage, extra protection from forgotten oil changes, meanwhile scrubbing the inside of your engine clean.
I never understood why people try to save $350 on a $20000 car.... |
