I really liked Valvoline, good quality, reasonble price.
Pros: good quality
Cons: reasonable price
Vehicle:

My mom's impreza will loose oil between oil changes with 0w-20 and will be fine with 5w-30. It burns the thinner oil.
Pros: fine with 5w-30
Cons: burns thinner oil
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Valvoline Restore & Protect or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are also great oils to run and clear up and baked on sludge.
Pros: clears baked on sludge
My wife\u2019s 2012 Impreza is at 195k miles and I switched it to 0w-30 and then 5w-30 due to oil consumption. Was burning a quart every 1K miles on 0w-20, burns half that on 5w-30. I\u2019m actually considering going thicker.
Pros: burns half that
Cons: oil consumption
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Mileage: 195000 km
using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
Pros: keep oil burning down
Vehicle:
Subaru
I recently changed the engine and transmission oil in my car and opted for Liqui Moly, as from what I researched it withstands higher temperatures compared to the OEM.
Pros: withstands higher temperatures
SP certified oils have better LSPI protection than SN, and SP is what Subaru requires for this generation.
Pros: better LSPI protection
Vehicle:
Subaru
Kurzstrecke verhindert, dass das Öl nicht auf Temperatur kommt, dadurch bleiben Rückstände von Wasser etc, was du der Schlotze führt.

I use that Valvoline, sometimes throw in random fully synthetic oils I get in bulk from an auction. I feel like it contributed to a rear main seal leak. Thinking of switching to a 5w40
Cons: contributed to seal leak
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 400000 km
