Castrol GTX 5W30?

[PF52]

I've searched a few times here, but have not found one.

If need be I'll send in a sample unless someone can point me in the right direction. thanks!

Go to the PQIA site - GTX 5W-30 is one of the oils they tested last year.

Ah, yes, thanks I see it there.

I was curious to see where the TBN starts out at since mine usually winds up pretty low (1.7 to 2.5 or so) after 5,000 miles.

Funny, I've always thought GTX, along with PYB, is one of the longer-lasting conventional oils - we've seen a few UOA's of 8-10K miles on it that were great.

I've got it in my car now, and I'll be changing it out after 2.5-3.5k miles - it's 'cleaning up' after a 21k run on conventional!

21k on dino!?!? Im shocked to hear that. Think you may need something a little stronger than GTX to clean up that disaster.
