Sam’s is offering Castrol GTX Full Synthetic oil in 6 packs on sale for $25. Has anyone used this and how does it rate to everything else on the synthetic market?

GTX is a solid oil ran it a few times for 5K - 6 Mon

That might be a new product - I’ve seen GTX full synthetic in the grey bottle, and GTX High Mileage semi-synthetic in the dark green bottle; but never ‘GTX full synthetic High Mileage’ in that bottle.

Interesting!

I’m running it (5w30) in my GFs GX550, running smooth with 5-6k oci

I've used it - I think - in my previous car, 2008 G35, as well as in my wife's Toyota. It's a perfectly fine oil. Reason I say "I think" is that Castrol has renamed some of their offerings and I think this used to be Magnatec.

Use it in my transit work vans. One has 180k miles and runs like new. Internals are clean as well. 5-7k OCI’s but lots of highway miles.

Castrol in general is a good product IMO

From 1 to 10 compared to other oils?
I would say it rates somewhere in the middle. Probably below Castrol EDGE and above Castrol GTX synth. blend.
