Castrol is a joke.
 
It's honestly the worst marketing ad I've seen from an oil maker EVER.

It depends on your perspective. I actually think their commercials are pretty funny. They should drop some HOT sludged motor oil on some hot lookin girls in future commercials.

Yes, the commercials are pretty bad. I never took anything from Castrol seriously anyways.

True....LOL

I never took anything from Castrol seriously as well. Very average product.

How come nobody is jumping all over Castrol's claim? People here were ready to condemn Valvoline for their x4 > M1.

Yeah the marketing is out of control anymore. Always has been I guess, but it appears to be getting worse.
 
Castrol actually makes some really good oils, but none are available here in the U.S. They also make an oil that actually meets GM4718M, but it's not available in the U.S. where most Corvettes are sold.

Because the sludgefest is just so entertainingly insane, that it has us preoccupied?

This would be amazing to see(we should not encourage them), not only would it scald their skin, it would also give em cancer in the years to come ! Not only does it remove 57% sludge but it is an anti oxidant as well for facials.
 
You know, I really used to like their products, and used them faithfully for years. But after this fine bit of marketing genius, I'm going to use my last jug of Syntec 5W-30 in the Sentra this week (probably changing it at night so no-one sees me) and that will be it.
