Castrol GTX High Mileage motor oil is the leading consumer high-mileage brand. It’s a synthetic blend motor oil that helps extend the life of your engine by protecting against sludge, wear and burn-off. Castrol GTX High Mileage is also engineered to protect your emission system. One of the leading causes of ‘check engine’ lights coming on in high mileage cars is 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 is formulated 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, there is no better choice than Castrol GTX High Mileage.

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)
• Seal conditioners to help reduce leaks
• Advanced additives that minimize engine wear
• Improved fuel economy (in 5w-20, 5w-30 and 10w-30 grades versus industry specifications)
• Meets or exceeds api sp/sn plus/sn, ilsac gf-6 and latest ford specs

Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage SAE 0W-20 is a full synthetic motor oil that is uniquely engineered from our revolutionary PurePlus gas-to-liquid technology which is a patented process that converts pure natural gas into a high quality, full synthetic base oil. Because it is made from natural gas, the base oil is 99.5% pure, contains fewer impurities than base oils made from crude oil, and when combined with our advanced additive technology, creates one of the best formulations in our Pennzoil high mileage portfolio.

75,000 miles is more than a mile marker. It’s a signal that your engine is ready for greater protection. That’s when you need Valvoline High Mileage with MaxLife Technology Motor Oil. Its exclusive formula is proven to maximize engine life in cars, trucks, and SUVs with over 75,000 miles. Our mixture is specially developed with a unique combination of synthetic and premium conventional oils to protect your high-mileage motor against wear, friction, heat, and deposits – the four major causes of engine breakdown and expensive repairs. Anti-wear additives defend critical engine components, advanced friction-fighting agents reduce heat and abrasion, added detergents clean the inside of your engine, and premium seal conditioners handle aging seals to prevent leaks. It fights sludge, corrosion and rust that can rob your engine of horsepower, fuel efficiency and longevity. From extreme temperatures and cold starts to stop-and-go traffic and frequent short trips, viscosity modifiers make sure the oil flows more easily, coats more completely, and resists thermal breakdown under even the most intense driving conditions. Its unique mixture curbs contaminants to keep high-mileage engines from burning and consuming oil that can foul spark plugs, creating higher emissions and causing your motor to run roughly.
