I used Costco’s 5w30, Walmart Supertech Synthetic and Chevron Supreme semi-synthetic. The latter is my favorite. I also had Blackstone do a UOA(used oil analysis) and my engine and oil are all in top condition.
Pros: engine and oil top condition
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 270000 km
Mobil 1 is one of the better, but you could use any 0w-20. I'd just say stick with a name brand and not something from a gas station.
Pros: one of the better
I've run Pennzoil Ultra in 5W-30 for the past 4 years and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
mobil 1 high mileage synthetic has been good to me.
Pros: good to me
I'm currently happy with Mobil 1, 15w50, except when it comes time to pay for it, yikes that stuff is pricey. First time I ran the Mobil 1, guess what happened?? Oil light flicker at hot idle. Replaced the low pressure switch, no more flicker. That switch didn't change characteristics just because I changed oil, the fresh oil was thinner, oil pressure decreased.
Pros: happy with oil
Cons: pricey, oil light flicker
