I am currently using Motul X clean EFE 5w30 using it because it was Tuner/shop recommended by Dmann/Felix Performance who did change for me prior to a tune/dyno and I haven't switched back.
Pros: Tuner/shop recommended
I always use Penzoil Ultra Platinum and have never had an issue.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Shell advance long ride or power you have two choices for fully synthetic trust me dude once you try shell there's no going back castrol is the worst for Royal Enfield and motul is better suited for high compression engines like KTM etc
Pros: fully synthetic, no going back
Cons: castrol is the worst
This is the second time I had put Amsoil in my scooter and I had to post the findings over here for my fellow scooter riders here.
The performance jump is noticable, my access now pulls pretty graciously post 60 km/h before it was more noise and less acceleration with Castrol 5w40 synthetic. You can feel the acceleration in your bum and hands when you twist the throttle after 65 or 70 which is where most if the 125 cc scooters flat out due to lack of power.
Even doing top speed for more than 1 hour in highways you will feel no vibration thats how smooth the engine+Amsoil combo is.
The smoothness of this oil with this suzuki engine is next level my friend who borrowed my scooter for a day (apache rider) said it feels like riding an electric scooter that's how smooth it is. So do try!
Pros: performance jump is noticable
Cons: Castrol experience was meehhhh

Suzuki
We use Idemitsu for engine oil and transmission and red line for front and rear diff. Red line makes a good fluid for the transmission also.
I’ve switched to Pennzoil and I’ve noticed I went from burning about ~1 quart between 5k mile changes to barely burning anything. It seems like my motor is a little happier with it based on it not making such a racket but that might just be confirmation bias
Pros: less oil burning
Cons: confirmation bias
Mileage: 8046 km
After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change
Pros: tick tock went away
Vehicle:
BMW
Shell helix ultra for mb’s spec, change when the car asks to. I’ve not had the car since it was new, so it’s pointless to spend extra money when it won’t make it last longer
Pros: mb’s spec
Cons: pointless to spend extra
personally, I think Amsoil AFL is junk. They ruined a stout oil when they reformulated it to mimick 505.01.
Cons: junk, ruined stout oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
