Anything is better than nothing. I've tried most big oil brands but overall I like the Shell Rotella stuff most.
Pros: like Shell Rotella stuff
I use the red bottle in mine. I've found that it leaks/burns the least.
Pros: leaks/burns the least
I have the VR-1 race oil on my MR2. Apparently some people said it made my car spit flames.
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
The approach to go with 10W40 is absolutely right - from my experience the best oil for that kind of engines! Take an expensive Castrol Magnatec Oil and it runs well.
Pros: best oil for engine, runs well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I use the T6 as well and like it a lot. Other people in this forum have recommended in the past as it’s additives are supposed to be good the 4.0’s. Always worked well for me, it’s reputable, not the most expensive and if the additives do actually help, thats only ever a good thing.
Pros: reputable, good additives
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE 5W-30
My tuner recommended Eneos 5w40
Pros: tuner recommended
Can't go wrong with [Shell Rotella T6](https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/products/full-synthetic-and-blend-oil/t6-full-synthetic.html). Full synthetic, JASO-MA certified and cheap.
Pros: full synthetic, JASO-MA certified
Cons: none
Shell Rottela 5W-40 full syn.
Pros: full synthetic
