As someone who lives in Florida, and has a high mileage m54 motor, I only use Castrol 5w40 and 5w30 if I cant find the first option. Runs amazing and daily driven with some abuse lol
Go to wallmart and buy two jugs of Castrol Edge Full Synthetic 5W-30 and then just purchase a couple filters off of FCP Euro.
I recommend using Mobil1 engine oil. It contains additives that extend your engine life. I’ve done a teardown of a Skyactiv engine that used Mobil1 and one that used Pennzoil. The Mobil1 engine looked a lot better than the Pennzoil one. I use it in my parents’ CX-9, no problems at all.
I own a 2019 N and have used mobile 1 synthetic 0W-30, subs i bought it. this will be my 5th oil change as i change mine every 8000 miles. So far no problems.
I used mobile 1 for the rav 4. Factory fill on the evo was mobile 1
i used the original oil (0w20) but here in mexico is a little expensive. change the oil to mobil 10w30 full synthetic and works great on my fit 2010.
The 2020 has been great but the engine still clacked and groan albeit nowhere near the 19. With the 0.5 quart of Castrol 5W50 I love the car now! Pickup is great and the engine being pettier seems to help the transmission shift better also.
I use edge 5w40, I switched from 5w30 and oil consumption has went way down and it feels like the engine runs smoother.
Castrol 5W-40 Euro been using it since 20k miles now at 160k mile zero issues other then gasket leaks.
I have an 07 Rabbit with the same 2.5L. I tried Mobil 0W40 one winter. It was OK for about the first 6000 KM, then the engine began to sound like a diesel.
