Castrol GTX or Exxon Superflow

it might be stupid to ask but just curious to know. I been using Castrol 5w-30 and 5w-20 on my both civics. but exxon superflow is on sale for 65 cents per qt. Should i go with exxon ? does it make any differentce what oil i use, i change oil regularly on time between 3000 to 3500 miles. thanks

Go with the Exxon Superflo. Go to bobistheoilguy.com and you can see many Used Oil Analysis with both oils. I myself posted one with Castrol 5w-20. I would go with the Exxon Superflo though. It contains more Moly then the Castrol 5w-20.

Aww, good catch. I missed that but either way he'll be fine with Exxon Superflo. Look at the UOA I did on Castrol 5w-20. It contains to much sodium for my liking. Im using Havoline and will run another UOA after 4,500 miles and see what the results show. Im willing to bet that they will be better then the castrol gtx 5w-20.
