Engine oil Mobil or OEM Toyota
I use Mobil1 0w40 for the last 3 years (changed twice a year) with flawless UOA reports. I upgraded this summer to M1 5w50 as I do get low pressure warnings at times during high heat and heavy traffic situations summertime. Winter going back to 0w40
In my VN, always Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE.
I vaguely remember a video or a study done on mobile? Syntec or something, a somewhat scientific study pulling samples every 1k miles and sending out to a lab. Bottom line was that the oil actually got better over miles and they abandoned the project at 15k miles.
I used OEM Mazda Moly 0w20 oil for most of the last 8 years, until I started getting coolant showing up in my Blackstone used oil lab reports. Switched to Mobil1 5w30 high mileage this last time, 2,500 miles ago.
I used Mobil 1 with my Mustang. I like it for my timing chain and valve line. It’s very good. Car runs quiet.
Good old fashioned Mobil 1 for me. It wasn’t available during the pandemic so I used Valvoline Synthetic for a couple of years.
On my Giulia I've used 3 different 0W30s, and presently using Mobil 1 ESP 0W30.
I've put over half a million on four different vehicles, several hundred thousand on a few others, all running Mobil One.
It's a ok. Ran mobile one in my s50 sometimes rotella t6
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.
