    i like the slogan from Castrol
    IT'S MORE THAN JUST OIL IT'S LIQUID ENGINEERING. And I forgot this to say:
    C3 is normal oil and LL means long life. Some cars use that like bmw because the oil change is at a high interval like 25000 but since i do the change every 10 000 its not really needed

      Im not sure if you are still responding but i usually change at 7500 km. If i use Long Life, i can extend to 25000 km? Or how?

      10 or 15k is safe for a M engine. For a diesel you can do 25k

    Brand means little, the specs, viscosity and rate of changing your oil are MUCH more important.
    Don't forget a good filter.

    I have a 1999 BMW 323i with 73k on it and people have told me to use thicker oil. And I love Castrol and I will always use 5w-30 Castrol🇩🇪 Thank you so much for video.

      Never use ticker oil then needed.
      Unless you have a very old car that uses a lot of oil .....
      Its something that people made up. Like a dumpvalve makes a car go faster .... haha 😛

    I think 0w40 is best oil

    Hi happydude!
    I was wondering why there are so many differences amongst a Castrol 5w30 ? (There is 5w30 C3, 5w30 M ....) is it about the authorization for your car brand? I've ordered the original Bmw Twin Power Turbo 5w30 (which is Shell oil i guess) for my M2 though I'm also a Castrol fan since I have used it for my previous BMW. And at what mileage do you change oil? (Every 10.000/15.000 kilometers?) ... thx and greetings from Germany!!

    Hi happy Dude. I hope you are doing well.
    Could you please advise me on the oil I should use?
    I live in Maputo (Mozambique, Africa) a hot country.
    I drive a 2002 316 ti BMW with almost 100.000 km.
    Should I use fully sythentic 10w40?

    • @HappyDude1

      first try 5w30 and see if it burns a lot of oil. And take a good brand like castrol

  • @seragali1353

    What is the recommended mileage to use Castrol Edge 5w30LL before changing it... Knowing that I change it after only 4000 miles.

    • @HappyDude1
      @HappyDude1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The idrive will tell you that :)
      But i did it every 20 000 km
      Because i do a lot of km in a year
      If you do short drives then between 10 or 15000 km

    Use any oil u like just change every 15k kilometers and dont use any 0w-20. Castrol is not synthetic oil. Is mineral oil grade 4 only branded synthetic , there is only 2 brands who produce 100% synthetic oil. One of them is motul but is more expensive

      If you change the oil often
      Its all good
