It has evolved to meet the needs of consumers and vehicle manufacturers since 1968 and continues to innovate and remain a trusted brand today. Severe driving conditions such as heavy traffic, poor fuel quality, harsh driving conditions and exceeding oil change intervals can all cause the build-up of a thick, tar like substance called sludge. If untreated, it can rob a car’s engine of its power and ultimately its life. This oil is specially engineered to prevent harmful build-up of sludge while protecting against new oil splatter formation better than tough industry standards. Proper oil maintenance will help extend the life of your vehicle. Even if you do not drive often, the engine oil could get contaminated as a result of accumulated moisture.
Contaminants are whipped into oil as it runs through your engine. Neglected oil will eventually turn these contaminants into sludge. Contaminants such as unburned moisture and fuels reduce the effectiveness of the oil additive package and cause the oil to get dirty, typically between 3,000 and 5,000 miles. For those who typically drive over 5,000 miles between oil change intervals, synthetic oil is the best oil for your driving needs. The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations address driving habits and conditions to determine the most responsible drain interval for you to follow.
It is strongly recommended that you consult your vehicle owner’s manual. Castrol® GTX® High Mileage motor oil is the leading consumer high miles 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 Castrol GTX 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.
2009 once again saw Force finish outside of the top five. John finished 9th, daughter Ashley finished 2nd, and Mike Neff placing 10th. However, he would win his 16th overall championship as a car owner, with teammate Robert Hight’s championship, placing Force as the winningest car owner in NHRA history.
In 1992, the honor of putting Force on the trailer would go to Cruz Pedregon, driving the Larry Minor McDonald’s-sponsored Olds to the championship. Force was born to Harold and Betty Ruth Force in the Los Angeles suburb of Bell Gardens, California. As a child he lived in logging camps, Indian reservations, migrant farms, and trailer parks. He survived childhood polio with therapy and perseverance of his mother and family.
