I just assume any brand is just as good. I dont really mind about the brand just that I use 10w30 since my car is almost 100k or maybe i should go 20w50?

I am going to switch to 20w-50 in my next oil change. There is a difference between oils. I read about castrol gtx and it is considered one of the best.

Redline 10/40 (1997 328i 42,000) I did a lot of looking aroung and came to my personal conclusions:
Go full synthetic, no matter what your mileage is. Redline 10/40 or Mobil 1 0/40 a few buck more, but less than a tank of gas more than other oils Still gotta change oil and filter, but 5000 to 7500 (or yearly) should still give greate protection High quality filter |

I was under the impression you shouldnt switch over to synthetic unless the car is practically brand new. My 94 325i has 118k is it too late? I will be changing the oil at 119500 miles? What do you think. And if I were to use synthetic I think I would go with royal purple unless you guys think something else is better?
