Which is better for my car Castrol 5w30 regular or 5w30 Castrol high mileage? Does it make a real difference? I have a 98 accord with 114k 4-cyl. motor.

 

go with Shell Corp. Rotella T Synthetic. It is intended for deisel fleets, virtually shock proof, coke proof and far superior to Castrol naturals. Here's the neat part, the price just dropped to $12.84/gallon and its available at Wal-Mart. If its good enough for a Kenworth V16, its good enough for your 4banger. As far as the high mileage, just more detergents, so if you maintain your vehicle well, then regular Castrol will be fine.

 

^i would use valvoline max life on high mileage motor

 

castrol makes my valves louder.... mobil 1 synthetic quieted them down considerably... id use mobil 1 full synthetic.... but thats just me

 

no ****, i was wondering if that might help with a little engine noise?

valvoline maxlife for my beater 130k too

the high mileage stuff is aimmed for motor with more tear and wear.

go to valvoline.com, they got some good reading there and video and everything

 

elvis, use the castrol high mileage oil. its a bit thicker than the regular 5w-30.

 

i've always stuck with mobil 1 synthetic on my cars.

 

The dude who had my car before used Valvoline dino oil for the whole life of the engine...every 3k....the engine now has 244,500 miles on it....it runs perfectly....so I'm sticking with what he's been using.

My Type R gets Amsoil Synthetic though...I used Mobil 1 Synthetic in my integra before...it's a GREAT oil.

You can't go wrong if you use Castrol regular dino. It's also an outstanding oil.
