I just put some castol edge sport 5w30 in my car and the difference was great - everything is much smoother.
What oil do you guys use?

Motul Turbolite. Fixed up my cold start rattles. It sounds like a normal car when it's cold now, not a diesel.

Used Penrite Sin10 first but the car sounded a bit like the lifters were getting a bit starved on cold start-up. Changed to Royal purple 10W-50 but now I find that the engine has started consuming it (car with <50,000k's but tracked...all the time). The Penrite Sin10 never needed topping up once and I had it in for 5000km's so I'll be going back to it. Start-up was quieter with the Royal purple though. However it's twice as much and didn't last.

Elf Excellium 10w 50.
Quite happy with it, but nothing to compare to since it's the only oil change I've done on the car. Might change to something else or just keep going with it.

MOTUL 8100 5W40 X-cess
One of the cheapest \"real\" synthetic oils.

Mobil Synth S 10W-40
I wouldn't use 5w-30 in the Australian climate and full synth isn't necessary in my old na
