    Castrol is crap, I ran my Corsa Sport on it and it was never happy so changed back to Vauxhall stuff(Rumoured to be Shell oil).
    I would use Vauxhalls own, Mobil 1 or Shell Helix. A friend of a friend works for an oil testing company. They say Mobil always comes out on top and Castol is not that good.
