Default High Mileage oil?
My 08 LR2 se is at 170k, is it better to switch to Castrol gtx HIGH MILEAGE Oil ? I'm currently running Castrol Edge synthetic 5w30.

Thanks.

If you like Castrol, use their Castrol Edge 0W-30 A5/B5 product. GTX High Mileage is a blend, and none of the GTX oils match the requirements.

Castrol Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 A5, fully synthetic. The Edge 5W-30 does not come in A5/B5 spec.

Default Rotella Shell? 5w30

Would it be ok to use Rotella 5w30, project farm on YouTube did a test against Mobil 1 5w30 and it turn out that Rotella Shell was better.

The Rotella oil does not meet the requirements of ACEA A5/B5 that is recommended in the LR2 owner's manual.
