May I ask why you ask this question when Castrol GTX has been proven many times over as a very good dino oil? And is cheap as dirt anyway?

So why bother with the Shell oil, given the incremental cost of a Castrol GTX would be negligible on an annualized basis?

Do you buy round steak instead of sirloin as well? If the answer is sirloin, then buy the Castrol, lol!
