I use 0w40 Mobil 1 all year round. I live in upstate New York, so our winters can get pretty cold at times, and summers can be in the 90s F for days at a time.
My V70 2.5T is almost at 190k miles. I add about 1 quart of oil between oil changes at 5k intervals and my car has been trouble-free since I purchased it at 107k miles in 2017.
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.
Yeah, this has bothered me for a bit. I like the Gen.G team, but I didn't attempt to get any of their free merch at Rotterdam, precisely because I don't want to be a walking Mobil 1 ad.
I used US Mobil 1 0W-40 in my old 1.8T (mk4). I used it for two changes (finished off a box) and always found it was burnt at only 3k miles. You could smell it as soon as I pulled the dipstick out.
