My question was more related to whether castrol super whatever garde oil was any better that aldi equal grade.

As long as the oil meets the factory spec, that is all that matters. Aldi don't make oil, they buy it in from a supplier same as halfords or tesco et al.
I'd avoid eurocarparts tripleqx oil, it is made for ECP in Turkey and when I used the correct spec for an oil for change the engine sounded quite rattly and seem quiet again after changing to another oil. Think it was tesco as they sold their oil off cheap a while ago when the bottle design/supplier changed.

I'd also do some research in to the car you have to find out if they often have gearbox problems.
My car is prone to the gearbox shitting itself, so I'll be replacing with the correct factory spec'd oil when the time comes, in the hope to offset the inevitable for as long as possible.
