Engine oil Kendall or PENNZOIL
My dealership usually overfills my car and I do not think they use Toyota 0w-16 based on oil tests I have done. I do my own changes and switched from Toyota 0w-16 to Mobil 0w-16 and landed on Pennzoil presently and going forward.
Cons: switched to Pennzoil oil
I run penzoil ultra platinum. I’ll spend the extra money to know that I might get a few more hours out of my gen.
Pros: might get more hours
Luckily modern oils are developed with this in mind. Costco/walmart/amazon oil is made by the same company, Warren oil. I think most people consider penzoil ultra platinum as one of the best.
Pros: Penzoil ultra platinum
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. It’s hasn’t failed me yet and I’ve done multiple track days
Pros: hasn't failed me yet
Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w-30 in my 2016. Will use it in wife's 2025 when warranty is done.
Honestly, any brand should be okay as long as you change your oil every 5k miles. Personally I run Penz ultra plat. I never burn oil with it and my engine sounds quieter than it did w/ Mobil 1.
Pros: engine sounds quieter
Cons: never burn oil
Vehicle:
Lexus GS
Mileage: 5000 km
Put about 300K on two different M54's so far. Originally Mobil1/Castrol 0W30 (that was the original BMW recommendation in early 2000s), eventually switched to Pennzoil Euro 5W40 for oil leak reduction.
Pros: oil leak reduction
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 300000 km
I switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic made from natural gas. Oil consumption is 1/2qt in 5K.
Pros: reduced oil consumption
Mileage: 8047 km
I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul depending on if I choose to order ahead of time or just do it when I feel like.
Pros: Easily available
I would run Castrol over Pennzoil. Coming from personal experience, Pennzoil is junk.
Cons: Pennzoil is junk
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
