I've used Rotella T4 15w-40 in my 2008 6.7 Cummins year round in Canada. The ol girl has 700,000km (420,000 freedom units) and she runs like a top.
Pros: runs like a top
Mileage: 700000 km

Similar with my Audi but with Valvoline.
Pros: no oil burning
Cons: other oils burn
Vehicle:
Audi S3
My car is at \~7600 miles. I changed the oil at 500, 5000 and then I'll change it again at 10,000. I used Castrol Edge 5w30 for the first two and I'll use it for the third oil change as well. I'm going to send a sample of the oil at the 10k change to Blackstone Labs to see how the Castrol is doing.
Pros: sending oil sample to lab
Mileage: 7600 km
I use AMSOIL signature series 0W-30 but the Mobil-1 suggested by others is totally fine — AMSOIL is awesome but is expensive.
Pros: awesome, high quality
Cons: expensive
I ran Amsoil in my 2002 7.3 for years and it worked well for me.
Pros: worked well
I have been running Pennzoil platinum euro in my 16 GTI its entire life and its now at 125,000km. I ran the same oil in my 2007 GTI before I sold it up until 190,000km. Never had a single problem, neither cars burned any oil.
Pros: no problems, no oil burning
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 125000 km
I would recommend the Castro Edge PROFESSIONAL 0w-20. Been using it in my wife’s LR4 since we got it and it was the consensus on best oil when I first did my research. It’s a little pricey but we’ve had zero engine issues with this.
Pros: zero engine issues
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Land Rover
For the LR4 equipped with the TDV6 or SDV6 engine (Ford Lion), it is specifically 5W-30 C1 here in the United Kingdom. That's Land Rover's recommendation.
Pros: Land Rover's recommendation
Vehicle:
Land Rover Discovery
I just change it every 3k as a maintenance think no one told me to. I'm just afraid of messing up my turbo if I waited to long.
Cons: fear of turbo damage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 3000 km
im actually running that oil right now... I hate it tbh. 3,100 on the oil and it has allowed excess engine noise since day one, SUPER harsh cold starts, and now its burning through faster than the catrol I ran when I first got the car. a WHOLE QUART over 750 miles. the oil is thinner than piss going in, and it just doesnt stand up to what my engine can put out like Shell Rotella T6 has been doing...
Cons: excess engine noise, harsh starts
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Mileage: 5000 km
