I always use full synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30
Pros: full synthetic
I run Rotella in my 49 flathead and in my 91 civic.
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
The Rotella T4 isn‘t officially sold here in Europe. I use Liqui Moly touring high tech. It still got high ZDDP (>1200ppm). And it‘s also quite cheap.
Pros: high ZDDP, quite cheap
As long as you don't have a catalytic converter on it Diesel oil with Zinc is the best
Pros: best with Zinc
I run Rotella in my E24 at the advice of people on the BMW forums.
Vehicle:
BMW
So I took his advice and did the Rotella T-4 and MMO in my 71 LeSabre 350. Added a little to the gas, too. I run 93 octane gas. Engine is stock and original, about 90k miles. It's running so smooth now. It was an immediate, noticeable difference.
Pros: running so smooth
Mileage: 144840 km
Amsoil. I run it in anything and everything they make fluids for. Even the 2 strokes. Father has been a dealer for decades and the number of stories he has backing up amsoi's marketing claims is IMPRESSIVE. I've personally seen a few success stories already and PLENTY of scientific testing
Pros: impressive claims, success stories, scientific testing
Valvoline 20w-50 works great
Pros: works great
I personally used to run mobil 1 0w-40. as you said its super thin and seemed to just barely get the job done. Recently switched to castrol SLX 5w-30 and I am decently pleased with the first two changes.
Pros: decently pleased
Cons: super thin, barely got job done
