It's not necessary to stay with the Castrol brand for the life of the car, although, some technicians say that it's good to stay with the same brand to reduce sludge.

Just make sure the viscosity is right for the weather conditions when you have the oil and filter changed (and lube).

I have my oil changed at Walmart or Sears and I just ask for their Supertech or featured oil, and my Cadillacs seem to run fine on that oil.

Good luck on your oil changes.

I have a 2008 Saturn Aura. Your car should have an oil life system. Depending on how you drive it will turn on a message to tell you to change oil. After you change oil and filter make sure you reset the oil life system. Get in car Turn key on press accelerator all the way to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. Use 5W30 oil. I use Mobil 1 Extended and change my oil every 6,000 miles. (I'm a retired Cadillac Technician)
