Anyone use Castrol oil in their acura?
I used castrol synth for my 330, i have stocked up on it cuz target it had it on sale for $4 a quart. Well anyways my dad needs an oil change and i was wondering if 5w-30 would be ok for acuras engine? I never hear anyone talk about castrol here.. thats why i wanted to ask. Oh he has a 02 RL.

The ACURA DEALERSHIP that I purchased my 2000 3.2TL from over 3yrs ago & that I always have serviced there uses it.
They have been putting the CASTROL 5W30 OIL in my car for over 3years now. I was looking back at some of my old dealer service invoices. In April of 2000 I had my first oil change done at that dealership. They have on that invoice 10W30 QUAKERSTATE OIL.
On another invoice from August of 2001 they were using CASTROL 5W30 OIL. On all other invoices after that that I found they have been using the CASTROL 5W30 OIL. They have the CASTROL next oil change window sticker on my windshield with the DELERSHIPS name & the type of oil used.

Where is my super sauce?
Don't know about Castrol Synth, but I've also used Castrol GTX 5W-20 dino oil for the first 11,000 in my ride. My dealer used the same. I think Shawn S also said that Lehigh Acura does the same, and it seems like FTM-1s dealer is also with Castrol.
