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.
Using Rotella T6 synthetic 5W40 rated for turbo diesel. Lots of VW mkiv owners use it. Cheap from Walmart. Have been using Liqui Moly 5W40 as well but supplier is all out.
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.
That is what I have used for the past 3 years in my 97 m3. I havent found any difference between the LL-01 and LL-98 versions.
It's all I run in my E36s, 100% recommend it.
