I only use Motul in my car, but I only drive enough to really do 2-3 oil changes a year in 3000 mile intervals usually.
Pros: extra cost doesn't hurt
Mileage: 4828 km

I buy Liqui Moly 6200 from germanparts.ca for about $70/5L. Our Tiguan consumes a lot of oil sadly, so I buy a lot of it. My mechanic recently recommended using Liquid Moly 2331 (Leichtlauf) 5W40 to see if it helps with oil consumption, and have had that in for the last month or so.
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I use Rotella T6 5W40 on my stock motor STI.
Pros: on sale at Walmart
Vehicle:
Subaru
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum usually or Castrol Edge. In North Texas I’ll run a cold grade of 10w in summer and usually 5w in winter. 40 or 30 summer hot viscosity/ weight and 30 winter. 4.2 version of your 4.0 S/C AJV8.
Pros: cold grade of 10w
Liqui Moly 0W-20 LR for my F-Type-R. Doesn't use much oil, so cost is somewhat irrelevant.
Pros: doesn't use much oil
Had an E63 that I recently traded with almost 200K miles, a few months ago I scoped my 1 and 5 cylinders and they had what I would consider normal to no wear. So as a DIY'r, here are my observations, This is a bigger issue in the States than it is in Europe. ... Keeping the engine clean is key. Frequent oil changes no more than 5k mi, using quality oil and fleece filters, formerly a Mobil 1 guy, now using LiquiMoly.
Pros: normal to no wear, switched to this brand
I used OEM Mazda Moly 0w20 oil for most of the last 8 years, until I started getting coolant showing up in my Blackstone used oil lab reports. Switched to Mobil1 5w30 high mileage this last time, 2,500 miles ago.
Cons: coolant showing in reports
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 2500 km
personaly I use 5W-30 Amsoil, MANN oil filter and Hengst air and cabin filters
Valvoline oil is good I wouldn't suggest full synthetic it's just a rip off you can get high mileage oil that you can drive for 5,000 or 7,500 miles between oil changes.
Pros: Valvoline oil is good
Cons: full synthetic rip off
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I ran M-1 15w50 for 10k miles or so, and my car ran 10 degrees hotter on average than with any other oil I've used. Throttle response also felt sluggish.
Cons: hotter, sluggish response
Mileage: 10000 km
