Yooo this happened to me, have you used a high mileage type of oil? Apparently when they start to burn up they can change to a reddish hue, I went back to normal Mobil 1 and it’s back to gold
Pros: back to gold
Cons: reddish hue

I’m team mobil 1, 160k and going strong.
Pros: going strong
Mileage: 160000 km
Mobil 1 5w30 and oem Subaru filter. I change mine pretty religiously at 3750 miles. I know it might be overkill but I’d rather be safe than sorry and if my engine blows up I will for sure know it wasn’t my fault for neglecting maintenance.
Pros: safe maintenance, engine protection
Cons: might be overkill
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 6035 km
Extractor all the way. As for The amount left behind, it is inconsequential if you are maintaining a short oil change interval. I've seen a couple YouTube videos showing maybe 3 or 4 oz left behind.
Pros: easy, short interval
Cons: small amount remains
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Anything Dexos2, my fiancé worked at a chev dealer and I was getting their bulk 5w30 dexos2 at cost and my LSPI issues went away, mobil1 ESP went in last oil change at 250k km
Pros: LSPI issues went away
Mileage: 250000 km
I've been using Mobil1 in my car for three years because the garage I worked at had a contract with their local distributor, and that's what I got at a steep discount. Last year I put Total's equivalent oil in it, absolutely no discernible diffrence between the two.
Pros: no discernible difference
I run 5w30 Mobil 1 ESP with a Mann filter every 10k kms on my 7.5R. Got a great deal on it when it was on sale. It meets VW ratings, and I feel like that is really what is important.
Pros: meets VW ratings
Mileage: 10000 km
I am using Liqui Moly now, but was using Valvoline/Mobil 1.
Got my car at 36k miles, and used the Valvoline/Mobil 1 up to ~300k miles and no major issues…
Pros: no major issues
I use 5w-20 full synthetic from Mobil One. I change it every 5k miles, no more, and never have any issues with it.
Pros: no issues
Mileage: 5000 km
I prefer Mobil 1 oil, some people will swear by the or that brand. I just wouldn’t buy store brand stuff myself.
Cons: avoid store brand
