I've been a Castrol fan since the 80's when I had a car with a turbo that quickly destroyed motor oil. I tried Castrol in that turbo and it didn't come out of the engine like stinky, charred water at 3K miles. Instead it looked just like the oil change in my non-turbo car... a little dirty, but still like oil with no burnt odor.
I now use Castrol Edge for the 7.5K to 10K yearly oil changes and at six months I will siphon off 1.25 qts of oil from the engines and replace it with Magnatec. That way I am sure to have a boost of fresh cleaning additives of Castrol oil in my engines until the next oil change. I'm sure a lot of people will say that Castrol synthetic oils will last for the full 7.5K-10K oil change interval without having to add any fresh oil, but I used to have vehicles that would burn about a quart between oil changes and I would always top them up with fresh oil. It didn't bother me that I needed to add fresh oil, in fact I felt that a dose of fresh oil is very beneficial to my engines.
With the cars I have now, they do not seem burn more than a few ounces of oil in 10K miles. They run 20 weight oil which makes me even more nutty about protecting the engines. So now I have to siphon and top-off to get a fresh dose in the oil sump at six months. Castrol's full synthetic Magnatec is perfect for my "top-off" and peace of mind.
