Afaik, Ok ang Castrol pag mineral oil ang gamit mo, but I've read somewhere na pagdating sa synthetic, pangit ang Castrol, pinakamaganda is Mobil 1.

Okay naman ang Castrol... ito yata yung factory fill oil for BMWs... Sila kasi yung isang main sponsor nang BMW Williams F1 team. Check out their website for more info on the company and its products.

The reservations i have about Castrol is that whenever i use it, after 5,000km malinis pa yung oil. Usually a sign of the cleaning properties of the motor oil is that it become darker or even black after a few hundred to a thousand kms of use. Mobil 1 becomes darker after a few hundred kms of use, so does the Shell and Petron oils i've tried.

I used Castrol Semi-synth on our car during it's last oil change... now i'm trying the Mobil Drive Clean oil.

question vinj,

when u say malinis pa yung oil (castrol) are u referring to the dipstick o sa oil tank muna. pansin ko kasi sa akin sa dipstick di pa maitim, pero pag nagchange oil na ko, kita mo maitim na lumalabas..

so is it good or bad bro?!

I can't tell outright if its good or bad but it makes me think on "where did the dirt i normally see with all the other oils go"? I have a friend who also had the same thoughts when we had a meka-EB some time ago.

Buknoy Yung sa dipstick yung malinis. With the one thats drained out I can't recall anymore (with the exception of the Castrol semi-synth i tried in my brother's car, we don't use Castrol since we use Petron or Mobil usually)... if the one thats drained out is dirty then how would that happen? The dirt sediments gets accumulated at the bottom perhaps ? Any inputs on this?

But still, my bro-in-law used GTX in his car for 4 years and never had any problems...

for the 323, I just switched to Castrol Magnatec (since Caltex Energy doesn't always have stocks in DIY shops).

twice the price of regular mineral oil but lasts longer.
