How do you choose an engine oil? Is it just a case of "more expensive is better"?

It's literally marketing and liability protection.
The manufacture owns the oil or has a stake in it and licenses the name to other oil manufactures.
You're an idiot.

Oh congrats you just picked the most useless oil cert out there
that must mean that all other oil specifications are useless (even SAE and API)
I mean, fuck quality controls, consistency, regulation, oh and yes those liability protections
it isn like oil has gotten better over the last 100 years or anything
I mean really, what was I thinking?

Best to visit a forum specific to your car mate. Other owners will know which works best and which causes noisy lifters etc.
Beware fools who say Only use _____ because my pappy said so and he's a mechanic for 60years. Mechanics will use the cheapest shit they can get in bulk.
I personally wouldnt put castrol in anything i own due to nothing but bad results. Penrite all the way baby
