It's not that it's more expensive, about the same price as Mobil 1, it's just that they never really have any rebates and Mobil 1 is cheaper once you factor in the $12 rebate that they have twice a year. But at the same price, I'd buy Castrol over Mobil. For me, I just need MB 229.5 so it doesn't matter what brand I buy.
Plus I got tired of Castrol Edge shifting add packs from Calcium to Sodium to Calcium.....etc without any real notification. Too hard to follow. I want one type of add pack in my car to deal with.

Castrol is popular in EU. They made good oils for both motorcykles and cars. And have a wide sotiment of products. Many car manufactors recommend Castrol.
I buy what I can get a good deal on. They had a bunch of Castrol Magnatec at Walmart for $17 and some change for 5 quart jugs so I bought about 20 to add to my stash. I had to go to 3 local stores to find the correct weights.

I would say among Euro owners it is the most popular brand, specifically Castrol 0W40.
I got a couple 5 court jugs of the EP gold for $20 each other day at Walmart.
Otherwise I just usually don't acknowledge it's there. Not sure why to be honest.

That is good deal, I believe this same oil is right around $30 at my local walmart.

That was an unfortunate result of poor seamanship.

Castrol's conventional pricing is too high IMO compared to VWB / PYB / QS.
Their synthetic is also too high compared to other shelf brands most of the time and their UOA's are no better so why bother with that brand?
If it was a deal sure, but otherwise why?
