as a small engine mechanic at my shop we use the Briggs and Stratton 5w 30 for everything because all we’re fixing is snowblowers but for my personal machines I either use valvoline or amsoil

I myself use Castrol Edge (in 0W20) for my GJ. But I add a bottle of Lubro Moly MoS2, for that added molybdenum (mimics OEM moly infused Mazda 0W20).
Pros: added molybdenum
Vehicle:
Mazda
I use Pentosin in the e46, which I believe is BMW OEM supplier.
Vehicle:
BMW
Back when I dailly drove my 05 I went 10k fuel and oil. Donaldson filters and Valvoline premium blue oil
Pros: extended filter life
Mileage: 10000 km
On my first oil change I used Mobil One Synthetic 5w30. That's what most people recommended as well, at least as far as being able to stop into a store and grab some real quick. There's probably better stuff that's pricier and harder to find.
Pros: easy to find
Cons: better stuff pricier
Vehicle:
Subaru
Been running Euro blend Castrol a few years and happy with it. Engine is getting close to 200k, modified, driven aggressively. I'm sticking with works for me.
Pros: happy with it
Mileage: 200000 km
Got some mobil 1 and it feels pretty good.
Pros: feels pretty good
Vehicle:

I personally use Shell Rotella T6 5w40 for the fact that I live in the florida and the heat is killer.
Pros: suitable for hot climate
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
I've noticed my mk4 2.0 AZG with 250k miles uses 1.5-2 quarts of Mobil 1 in between 4k mile oil changes vs 1L of liqui moly.
Pros: less oil consumption
Cons: more oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 250000 km
