I swear by penz ultra platinum/euro platinum in my cars. Really good anti wear additive package in that stuff.
Pros: good anti-wear additives

Liqui moly for me runs about 4-5 degrees lower than OEM for my GTI. not sure if the same temp diff exists for the R but I did some reading on this. Perfectly normal.
Pros: runs cooler than OEM
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
First oil change at 15,000 kms. Went for Ravenol, it’s made in Germany and seemed like a superior choice.
Pros: superior choice

I would recommend a hybrid crv, great gas mileage, reliable, plenty of room in the back as well as cargo. I had a 2022 crv exl before trading it in for an EV, only maintenance I did over 25k miles was oil changes, tire rotations, changed wiper blades and repaired a tire leak. Absolutely loved it but traded it in because charging EV is cheaper and has less maintenance.
Pros: great gas mileage, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 40233 km

I run Valvoline Restore and Protect. It may be overkill, but I change it every 4-5,000 miles.
Pros: reliable protection
Cons: may be overkill
Mileage: 8047 km
I've recently started using Motul 7100 10w40. Actually I'm due for my first change and should get under it today. It's the only pull I've ever used that actually made a noticable difference in operation. The esters bond and quiet the motor to a noticable audible level. It's designed for motorcycles though and with the unique properties of this ester based oil, I'm taking a chance with carbon build up, but the protection at higher rpms it provides gives me confidence under those conditions, which is where carbon is best loosened at too. Supposedly this burns fairly clean for a synthetic, but IDK. I'm changing at 3k miles to see how it looks. May or may not extend it out, but has felt great so far in this 135k mile motor.
Pros: quiets motor, high RPM protection, feels great
Cons: potential carbon build-up risk

I had an 03 Camry from new till 2019. Had 335,000 miles when I sold it. That car got Rotella T6 5w40 since new. I still wonder how long that car would have lasted if I kept it.
Pros: long engine life, good performance
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Mileage: 335000 km
Using Mannol for my diesel.
Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
Cons: constant adding oil
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Mileage: 52000 km
