Engine oil Mobil or IDEMITSU
If you on a budget, Mobil 1 oil is great. If you want the best, Look up AMS oil. Expensive but worth it.
Been putting Mobil 1 in my BMWs for decades, 0w40 year round here in the pacific northwest.
Mobil 1 is good oil and 5 quarts is like $23 before rebates.
I use the 0w40 Mobil 1 European Formula. It\u2019s great and it\u2019s cheap and you can find it literally anywhere. I get mine for $22 for 5qt from Walmart.
The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.
Mobil 5w-40 has absolutely been quieter for me than the Castrol equivalent.
I'm at 80,300 miles, original owner and I just changed the oil, first time I tried Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 502.00 504.00 507.00 and the old R is idling quieter than ever, previously I was getting some slight timing chain noise but now its gone.
Used mobil-1 on my 2015 corolla for 156k miles zero issues. Have used Mobil-1 0w-20 on my 2018 Camry for 65k miles and this point I have had no metal deposits for the whole duration.
I have a couple of oil changes of the M1 0W30 ESP. It does meet the spec.
In terms of oiling, get a sohn adapter so your apex seals aren't being lubricated with crankcase oil, and instead are injected with rotary-specific oil, like idemitsu.
