If by regular castrol you mean regular car castrol you find in the aisle at megamart stores, then you mean a detergent oil that is name brand and designed specifically for cars and has additives meant for such an application. Non-detergent oil is the stuff you find that says non-detergent and is typically only used in lawnmowers and such. It costs like 0.80 a quart and will ruin your car.
