Engine oil Mobil or FUCHS
I don't think so, I've been using High Mileage 5w-30 Mobil 1 year round since 180k miles now at 240k. Though, I have started using the Honda Filter compared to Mobil 1.
Drove it to 300k using mobile 1 ephm. Sent samples at 10k intervals and blackstone always said i could run it longer. No abnormalities. I trust the oil life monitor.
Valvoline Restore & Protect is apparently amazing when it comes to desludging engines, and Mobil 1 also has some knockoff that claims the same.
Looking over this old post -- an update: I have since migrated to M1 ESPx2 in 0-20. The price has stabilized at $25gallon, and that made all the difference in the world to me, and is allowing me to reduce my OCI's to 5kish.
I use mobil one ESP 5-30
Mine has had Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 its entire life (aside from the factory fill) and I've had exactly zero oil consumption or lubrication related issues. It still gets nearly the same fuel economy and is as responsive and smooth as when I bought it, no matter if it's blasting up a steep mountain or baking in the heat of summer traffic.
Every 4k-4500 miles with a Mobil 1 5w30-5w40 mix and some liquimoly oil treatment.
I go Mobil one with my Mobil one oil. I run the euro blend in my 2010 WRX because it's high miles turbo so it's 0w-40. Car seems to love it.
I use mobile 1, 0-20w in my 5.3 GMC. 3k miles every change w filter. In the colder months it looks brand new coming out. Little bit darker maybe. My most recent change with the past month being 85+ I noticed it finally being very dark and red.
I only really noticed issues with oil consumption when I use mobil1, so I try to avoid that.
