Castrol – GTX High Mileage 10W-30 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil: 5 Quart (Part No.1597B0)

GTX High Mileage 10W-30 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil: 5 Quart

from

$30.99
Castrol GTX High Mileage motor oil is the leading consumer high-mileage brand. You won’t need to worry about using a high mileage oil or synthetic because this is both. It’s a synthetic blend engine oil that helps extend the life of your engine by protecting against sludge, wear and burn-off and also liquid engineered to protect your emission system. One of the leading causes of ‘check engine’ lights coming on in high mileage cars is actually catalytic converter failure, which can be caused by phosphorous in engine oil. While phosphorous is present in all engine oils for its ability to reduce wear, it is effectively poisonous to catalytic converters. Castrol GTX High Mileage Motor Oil is liquid engineered with Phosphorous Replacement Technology to replace some of the phosphorous with an advanced additive that maintains robust wear protection. When you want to extend the life of your high mileage engine and emission system and find out how many miles you can go on a high-mileage oil, there is no better choice than Castrol GTX High Mileage Motor Oil.

Product Features:
  • Phosphorus Replacement Technology to help extend the life of the emission system
  • Superior dispersancy that fights sludge build up
  • Exceptional oil burn-off protection exceeding industry standards (Based on API and ACEA volatility specifications)
  • Improved fuel economy (In 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 grades versus industry specifications)

Our full synthetic high mileage motor oil also protects engines from loss of horsepower, offers excellent performance in extreme temperatures, provides unsurpassed wear protection, and protection against abnormal combustion phenomenon like low-speed pre-ignition observed in modern turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines.
