I have used Mobil one synthetic on my 07 fit since 33,000km. Took the valve cover off once to adjust lash around 150, took it off at 200&230 and it looks like it was just assembled (I kid you not) - so realistically, I find the oil to be fine for my L15. Replaced my oil/filter ever 7000km (highway mostly) because it’s the cheapest maintenance if you plane to drive your car forever :)

Pros: oil looks fine

Vehicle: Honda Fit

Mileage: 7000 km

Exhaust smoke:

I used to run 0W40 in Lexus IS250 (4GR-FSE engine) with great results, towards the end of it's life (maybe... the car was stolen at around 200k miles, so not sure when it actually died) it was burning little bit of oil when 5W30 was used. However, I have noticed that when I changed for 0W40, it has not burn any oil at all and oil was noticeably cleaner.

Pros: oil noticeably cleaner

Cons: cost, longevity

Vehicle: Lexus

Mileage: 200000 km

So I have the very first year of the 2.0L Skyactiv engine in my Mazda 3 (2012). I have only used Mobile 1 alongside Mobil 1 filters. Truth is these engines are pretty solid.

Pros: engines are pretty solid

As long as the oil is VW 502 00 spec, it’s fine to use. I always go with either Mobil 0W-40 or 5W-40.

Pros: fine to use

Been using Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic since I rolled it off the lot. Zero issues. I do my own changes every 3-5k. I did swap out to the FL400s filter to make it an even 6qts.

Pros: zero issues

Vehicle: Ford Focus

Part number: FL400S

Funny, I changed my oil today for the first time as well. Also 1700 miles. Not black but certainly a lot darker than the Mobil One 0w40 that replaced it..

Pros: darker than Mobil One

Cons: oil darker

I wanted to give you guys a little insight on my recent discovery. I have always changed my oil @ 10K miles, using mainly pentosin and Hengst or mann filters. On occasion when I don't have time to wait for oil to ship to me, I've used German Castrol and autozone filters (either STP, Fram or Mobil 1). The picture below is what my mobil 1 oil filter looked like after 9K miles w/ German Castrol. Mind you I have NEVER had a Hengst/Mann/Fram/STP look like this when changing my oil. Another tid bit of info, My oil was much blacker this oil change than it has ever been.

Pros: never happened with other filters

Cons: oil much blacker

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 14484 km
