There was a dude on YouTube that did a test. Mobil 1 performed the best, followed very closely by Amazon basics

Man, just changed out the oil in my 2000 Crown Victoria Police interceptor yesterday with this. I HAVE USED THIS VERY OIL for close to 20 years. My shit runs as good as it has since I first drove it out of the Orange count sheriff's dept, Parole dept. auction lot. Never use anything else.
When it comes to brands most good brands work fine like Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline and so on. All these oils even including the cheaper amazon brand oils have been tested by the American petroleum institute and they have a stamp on every bottle.
Since then, I've changed my oil to a low SAPS VW 504 Mobil 1 5w30 ESP X3 which according to lubrizol has superior resistance to deposit and sludge formation. At this point, I've got consumption down to around 1qt/1400 mi which is a great improvement from where it was before. Hoping for further improvements with time but pleased with progress.
Mobil1 European Car Formula, MB Filter.
Mobil 1 Mobil 1 filter. At 260,000 or over in 3 different vehicles. Never an issue
I’m slowly switching to Mobil1 since I started doing oil analysis.
It has no sodium and therefore a good way to see if there is a coolant leak.
I've used Mobil 1 in my 2011 Mazda Speed3 for 8 years. My 2019 Bullitt gets Mobil 1 as well. Mobil 1 is reasonably priced and meets the spec required by both cars.
My 1.8T has just over 103k miles. I got it at 78k, and until about the 95k mile mark, I've been using M1 0W-40, then switched to M1 5w-40 Truck and Turbo-diesel, since I wanted peace of mind with its extra additives and protection. I figured since this oil is meant for high operating temps and high load in turbo-diesel engines, it would be just as good in my daily-driven and weekend-tracked 1.8T. I change my oil a few days before going to beat on it over the weekend, otherwise I'll change it every 3k to 5k miles. Also, I have had some valve noise (tapping of some sort), the whole time I've had the car. I'm guessing it's lifter noise. I'm not sure, but I was told to try a heavier weight to counteract it, hence the switch to the only decent 5W-40 sold on base. Still no difference in noise.
I use to use Mobil 1 Full Syth. and it was a mistake the \"knocking.pinging\" noise will also reduce using the right grade oil. Learn from my past experiences.
