I have always run Liqui-Moly Longtime High-Tech 5W-30 (blue bottle) in my 2008 NCV3 144" Sprinter in San Diego.

Mileage: 379000 km

My sprinter is deleted so I'm running 0w40 European car formula.
Pros: good protection
On my mk2 I used Liquimoly, Ravenol and now Castrol. No issues with any of them. I switched to Castrol because Liquimoly became a bit too expensive this year.
Pros: no issues with Liquimoly
Cons: Liquimoly too expensive
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Hey! I had two Octavias with the 1.6 TDI: the mk2 (I sold it) and the mk3 (the current one). Personally, I prefer Castrol Edge 5W-30. On the mk2 I once used Ravenol and the engine was a bit noisier compared to when I used Castrol.
Pros: engine happier than ever
Cons: engine was noisier
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
I have a 2019 golf r and I run liquid moly 5w-40 ever since I got it 2yrs ago and never had a problem..
Pros: never had a problem
Vehicle:

In Paraguay best race brands are Motul and Liqui Moly, I choose 10w40 Liqui with Ceratec for my 2000 wrx.
Pros: best race brands
Vehicle:
Subaru
Phattbotti tuning has done oil sample tests in multiple oils and he says Rotella T6 5w-40 is the best bang for the buck.
Pros: best bang for buck
Motul has been phenomenal for me
Pros: phenomenal
I’ve tested a few Liqui Moly mixtures and so far my favorite has actually been the Molygen though it’s not recommended it does meet their LL04 standard. Special Tec is a viable option as well and recommended by BMW. I’d say either is a great option for the longevity of the engine. I’ve had my car for 50k KM (20K Miles roughly) and I’ve had no issues whatsoever so far!
Pros: great for longevity, no issues
Mileage: 50000 km
Rotella T5, since the T6 is a bit too expensive for a car that leaks. Also a purolator pure one filter. I am up in Northwest NJ. I change it when the HLAs get noisy. It was 4500 miles for the last one.
Pros: none
Cons: HLAs get noisy
Mileage: 7242 km
