Do not cheap out on oil. I use Mobil 1 high mileage but Castrol is also good.
I've been using Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE in my VN for over 18000 miles now. No issues and runs fine.
I just rolled over 200,000 in my 2011 5.7. I change mine every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage 0W-20.
Mobil1 V-Twin 20W-50 in all three holes.
I heard you can throw 20W-50 (Synthetic, specifically V-Twin Mobil One brand) in all three holes and have no issues.
Mobil1 x1 1000 15w40 in all my cars. My engines are clean and quiet, oil pick-ups don't clog, there's a nice permanent oil coating everywhere.
I'm apparently the least informed person here (never done an oil analysis), but FWIW I seem to be fine with Mobil-1 0w40 on a 996.2 with 208k miles.
Mobil 1 5w50. Temperate climate. Car always garaged. Annual changes at 4000 miles. Zero top ups required.
I work in the automotive industry; and by far, Liqui Molly, Motul, and Total exceed Mobil 1. Mobil 1 has the recognition and they worked hard at marketing for many years. Independent German studies conclude that they are 3rd place at best when it comes to \"good quality\" oils.
I know when I put my stroker block in with stock head/turbo I filled it with 0w-40 and I would get low oil pressure when deaccelerating down hills.. Low enough the light would flash on, got my freaked out! with the new head. and my 71r 72a/r set up going on I'm swapping to 10w-40 mobil 1, because when I took the old head off there was a TON of carbon build up for the small amount of miles I had driven the new block around(less then 2,000 miles). I had changed the old twice already(once ot get the break in oil out and once again at 500 where I dropped the pan to check for metal and such and up in a new pick up tube for piece of mind). I have good reason to believe the 0w-40 is just too thin for the clearances for stroker pistons and such. I'll report back once the car is up and running with the 10w-40 in it. If the oil pressure problems persist I'm thinking about stepping up to 10w-50, but Im in southern California so YMMV depending on how cold/hot it gets around you.
