I am going to put my 2 cents worth in about oil. I am on my third hemi vehicle all mds motors I have been running the castrol in my current truck no problems at all. I run my truck every weekend at the track and drive it every day. I have had the valve covers off and still clean as new. Granted i only have 13000 miles on it.I have cut used filters apart and found no shavings what so ever.

 i ran Castol GTX for YEARS in my 91 chevy SS. NEVER had a single engine problem, even after 160K miles! And chevy 454s are known for burning a little oil as "normal", i never had that problem either.. and the two times i did pull the intake off (gasket match porting 1st time, cam the second) there was zero sludge, and everything looked new. It did get oil changes every 3000 religiously though __________________________________ 06'-Ram-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-AEM CAI-Diablo CMR Tuned By Mike W. @ tuningsuperstore.com 06'-Magnum R/T-Hemi-Pearl Black-Magnaflow-Diablo Tuned  ___________________________    |

I was surprised to see that BMWs come from the factory (Germany) with Castrol full synthetic.

almost all of chevy engines burn oil haha, castrol syntec still isnt a true synthetic, it is a base III stock non PAO based, it is still hydrocracked petro. Not that it isnt a good petro based oil, but you are paying synthetic oil prices for a regular grade oil, id rather buy GTX.
