Can't help but notice the additive package changes over the past 7 yrs. Castrol used to be a high sodium oil. Then switched to high magnesium. And now is back to high calcium like the Sopus oils. M1...
No I did not. However, my commute to work with the GC was under 8 miles each way so in the summer, it would not be considered severe service but in the winter yes...
