My 276k mile Xterra still trucks along with motul, every 3k miles.
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 444185 km
changing the engine oil and using motuls 10w40 fixed it and getting mileage around 40.
Pros: fixed issues, improved mileage
I replaced the company oil to motul 10w40 engine oil, the changes weren't drastic but the milage and smoothness improved over the time
Pros: improved mileage, improved smoothness
Cons: changes not drastic
I've recently started using Motul 7100 10w40. Actually I'm due for my first change and should get under it today. It's the only pull I've ever used that actually made a noticable difference in operation. The esters bond and quiet the motor to a noticable audible level. It's designed for motorcycles though and with the unique properties of this ester based oil, I'm taking a chance with carbon build up, but the protection at higher rpms it provides gives me confidence under those conditions, which is where carbon is best loosened at too. Supposedly this burns fairly clean for a synthetic, but IDK. I'm changing at 3k miles to see how it looks. May or may not extend it out, but has felt great so far in this 135k mile motor.
Pros: quiets motor, high RPM protection, feels great
Cons: potential carbon build-up risk
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 4828 km
Fresh gear oil can help grinding synchros. It sounds weird, but it's true. 75w90 GL5 is the oil you need. Motul gear 300 is the most recommended gear oil brand for subarus, but any GL5 rated 75w90 gear oil will probably help a lot.
Pros: helps grinding synchros, highly recommended

I'm using motul x clean 5w40 for the last 15 years on my m54b22 and it s perfect. I tried also ravenol, liquimolly but motul was the best.
Pros: motul was the best

I'm on my first run of Motul 7100. It's ester based and has truly made a noticable difference in operation. It's made for motorcycles and their higher revs in mind, with the esters actually bonding to metal- not just a strong film. The drawback here is that from this bonding, the oil can be a bit stronger to burn off, but I didn't feel, like mentioned in another comment, that the internal temps on an RE can't burn that off. Just need to be sure to drive it like it's supposed to be, with high rpms. Instantly on first change I could notice quieter and smoother operation. I'm really not concerned about it not burning high enough, but as always, the most important thing is staying on top of oil changes routinely and timely. That is what truly kills most of these motors. In fact, I can't say I've really ever heard anyone lose a motor and say it was because "this" oil was used.. Unless it was something or some grade that shouldn't have been used at all in the first place.
Pros: quieter and smoother operation
Cons: stronger to burn off
I have been running Motul 5w30 Xclean EFE and have used Pennzoil Ultra Platinum as well.
