Mobil 1 15W50
I'm going to buy Shell Rotella T 5W-40 synthetic, available at Wal-Mart, for the first oil change I have to do myself.
I'm currently using Castrol Syntec 5W-30.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I just picked up some Penzoil synthetic 5w-40 today and right on the front of the bottle it says "Meets BMW and Mercedes requirements" a little search on back label listed all the specs and all VW specs listed above are on the back of the bottle.
Pros: meets requirements, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
I use Synpower since 20k. But I've decided to try an imported euro spec 5W40 full synthetic for a real good price for a change. Motul 6100 Synergie 5w40 at $5.11/qt with free shipping.
Pros: good price, free shipping
Mileage: 20000 km
Valvoline Synpower also meets as many specs as Syntec. Synpower 5w-40 meets API SL/SJ, ACEA A3, and VW 502.00 and VW 505.00. Plus, you can get it for less than 5 bucks a quart
Pros: meets many specs, less expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Changed it for Mobil 1. My owner's manual specifies API CD oil, so the mobil 1 should be fine (says it is suitable for CF applications).
Pros: suitable for CF applications
API (SF) oil usualy contains way more detergent than Diesel CF grade oil. I'm not sure what this kind of oil can do to your engine... But I would suggest using Mobil Delvac 1 oil.
Here's something kinda interesting, when using Mobil 1 5w30, I experienced a higher rate of oil consumption than with Mobil 1 0w-40...I was losing approx .5 quarts every 2k miles...the 0w-40 loses nothing between 3k...
Pros: 0w-40 loses nothing
Cons: higher oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Bora
