No warranty…yes i read that the penzoil is great but why does it not have the BMW certification.

Awesome, but the 4200 is a 5w30 oil and would prefer a 0w oil because i live in Montreal… I did notice it has the specification for the b48 though… Currently I’m on LM 6600 0w20 and have about 8600 km’s on the oil. Should i go the distance to 15k km’s or change it at 10k km’s? I may have to give...

‘08 Honda Odyssey…

So is the Castrol 0w30 a3/b4 a better oil than the LM toptec 6600 for a B48 BMW?

In Canada we have two Castrol euro 0w30 oils. Which do I pick for my ‘18 BMW 330i? CastrolEdge Euro a3/b4 0w30 or Castroledge Euro LL 0w30? Currently I’m running Liqui Moly top tec 6600 0w20 and wanting to go to a 0w30 oil but can’t justify it’s price. Is LM worth the extra $$?

Pour point is -60°C. Would this oil be good in my ’18 bmw 330i. Car is kept outside in Quebec winters and used daily fir a 30km commute…. Or should i just use 0w20 ll17

2008 Honda Odyssey DX a few months ago…

So can i Put a LL04 oil into my Canadian '18 330i? I have the same engine and feel the 0w20is just too thin for ths application.

I have a '95 SHO with 93k miles on it..I run Castrol Syntec 5w-40 year round and the car loves it. I ran Mobil 10w-30 and heard loud clacking noises at cold start-ups. I also heard it with Castrol Syntec 0w-30. With the 5w-40 I don't hear anything. The engine is smooth and it purrs like a Yamaha...

I would like to see an analysis on the Motorcraft 5w-30 oil aswell if anyone has them. How does Motorcraft oil compare to Castrol dino oil? [ February 28, 2003, 10:22 PM: Message edited by: Tommy the Greek ]

When I worked at a Toyota dealership a Doctor came in complaining of engine noise on his 2001 Avalon. The engine looked pretty much like the pictures of the Honda above. Even with that profession he did not know he had to change the oil in his new car. It had 28K miles when the engine seized.

What would you use and why?

Any one have the Product Data Sheet for the Castrol GTX Motor Oil. Thank you. [email protected]

I use to work for the parts department of "Star Toyota of Bayside", NY before I moved to Montreal and have seen my share of '01 4-runners. Which town of the Island are you in? I believe the owner's manual says 5w-30 and you should stick with that. 5w-30 will give you the best fuel economy also...

It depends if you change your oil every 3k miles, if you do use the Castrol 5w-30. If you extend it to 5K miles use the synthetic. [ February 01, 2003, 07:19 PM: Message edited by: Tommy the Greek ]
