My 25 year old Camry requires 5W-30 and I use Castrol Edge. I also put 1 litre of Castrol GTX 15W-40 oil into the mix - it's supposed to have anti sludge properties and also lowers the overall cost.
Pros: anti sludge properties
Cons: lowers overall cost
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
From my experience with a Toyota echo; does not matter the brand, only the type. My echo was a 10w40 semi synthetic. once she started consuming a little more oil, I was then just filling her up with any 10w40 semi synthetic I could afford. There was no difference of her running on Castrol vrs the mixed bag of what it ended up with, as I always put Castrol as my oil of choice for a complete change.
Pros: no difference in running
Vehicle:
Toyota Echo
But personally i like Mobil 1 brand
Pros: personally likes the brand
Have used a few brands, I think it’s running Castrol 5w40 right now.
Castrol 5w40 Euro spec, my car runs better on that than 5w30
Pros: car runs better
I'm over 50 K on my current Amsoil change. I drive my car a couple thousand miles a month for work. I also put Archoil additive in it when I did the change.
Pros: long change interval
Mileage: 50000 km
I went with Mobil 1 5w-30 ESP. I read around the Bob is the Oil guy and that is what I came up with what I would best for WRX that will be tuned with an intake (My opinion). I am sure there are other good options.
Pros: good option
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had the same issue on my 2019 A6 3.0 last year. Two times I had to pop into the dealership to have oil removed (no charge) and the issue was due to dilution and short trips.
Pros: no charge
Cons: oil dilution, short trips
Vehicle:
Audi A6
The new LM MolyGen or whatever it is called is not as good as the oil that was discussed thoroughly in this thread. I strongly recommend you stick to the LM Leichtlauf (part number 2332). If you engine sounds \"angrier\", and if that's not in your head, then that is a bad thing.
Cons: not as good, makes engine sound angrier
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
Part number: MOLYGEN
