I've used Amzoil synthetic and Mobil 1 synthetic and can't really tell the difference. Haven't used Castrol.

Re: castrol syntec
I've always been a fan of Mobil 1. Whether it actually protects better or worse I don't know. I just know that when I switched to Mobil 1 on my last car, it fired up and ran so much smoother. I had previously used Castrol GTX conventional oil.
I've always heard to stay away from synthetic oils if you have any oil consumptions issues.

Re: castrol syntec
I've always used Mobil 1. At work we make stuff for Mobil 1 to "dumb it down" so to speak. I wish i could get my hands on it before we put our products into it. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: castrol syntec
DON"T switch to a synthetic oil in an engine with 159000miles. Enough said!
