No leaking or burning. So I think I'll go with the castrol.

If using Castrol Products the best is the GTX (the more expensive Castrol dotn perform any better (sometimes worse according to some used oil analyses).

The Durablend is also a very good choice.I would get eitehr one in 10w-40 not xw-30.

For a little more you can buy Penzzoil synthetic. Trust me. Your car will thank you for it. My 95 nissan truck warms up quicker and runs at a lower temp with that stuff in there.
