Fuck Mobil 1. Get you some penzoil ultra platinum or better yet some amsoil. They’re both miles better than Mobil 1. I used to use Mobil before switching to penzoil. The difference was noticeable
I use Full Synthetic ( Pennzoil Platinum). At 24K I really can't even tell the engine is running when I come to a stop, its just that smooth and quiet.
Germany, 320d, 2008, 280000km, Castrol Edge 5w-30. Every 15000km
Castrol high mileage 5w-30 every 3 to 5k
Any other oil I have tried made my lifter tick super loud in cold weather
I use Castrol Edge 0W-40 in my '08 328, N52. Based on used oil analysis from Blackstone Labs, I'm at a 6K mile change interval.
Pennsoil Platinum High Mileage 0W20. It seems to run best on it, at least among the wal mart oils.
The OEM oil filter worked well to keep insolubles low, and after 8,570 miles on this fill of Castrol High Mileage, the 2.8 TBN shows the oil had active additive to spare.
Castrol Europeans 0W40 is my typical go-to but Mobil-1 is great, get whichever is cheaper.
I personally used to run mobil 1 0w-40. as you said its super thin and seemed to just barely get the job done. Recently switched to castrol SLX 5w-30 and I am decently pleased with the first two changes.
I got an oil change with Pennzoil 5W-40 Euro, which I was not too fond of, because the light weight of the oil made my lifter noise sound much more pronounced.
