Oh that's a topic there are variables to consider. Not the KM / Miles but which car brand, which engine, which oil is used.
GM in Autria / Opel uses a lot of oil, due to defective engines already as a new one, Vw or Audi drives up consumption due to Loglife oils. these "original oils" have less sulfur are mostly 0w 30 / ... 40 maximum 5w / x .. and that is so thin that it is d*** by the gap dimension of the piston rings or valve stem seals and burns through.
1 liter per 1000km is completely normal and also desirable.
for me selz.b The Castrol is only a HC oil (partial synthesis).
Purely in terms of price, e.g. at the level of ravenol.
Mobil 1 60-70% GTL / VHVI, lower HTHS, visco phosphorus and zinc (ZDDP) than the shell. But more calcium, so nothing fully synthetic. Priced between Shell and Ravenol.
What is also to be noted: Please only buy the oil from reliable shops, there are counterfeits of all oils in circulation.
Castrol and Mobil 1 are no longer the oils they used to be. This is also the reason why Rowe or Ravenol can survive as small specialty mixes. The same applies to Meguin / Liqui Moly.
That's why I honestly commute between Shell and Ravenol, since both have approvals (which in this oil league only depend on the market position and possible buyer groups, but not on the quality of the oil). A good, cheap, fully synthetic is the high of delticom Performer 0W40.
Synthesis technology / partial synthesis is just a marketing description for hydrocrack oil.
The shell, if you can say so, is an extremely homogeneous, clean hydrocrack oil, but it can no longer be created with the normal HC process.
Gas to Liquid (Fischer - Tropsch synthesis) was developed in Germany in the course of the oil shortage beginning in the 1940s in order to generate a substitute gasoline from wood or similar. Due to the better controllability of the process, an even oil can be generated in contrast to the normal HC process. Since the starting material is gaseous, the extremely clean base oil without sulfur can also be explained.
