I do my own oil changes. dexos is pretty much a quality certification standard and I use Mobil 1 Fully synthetic 0w-20. I did my first change at 1,5k then at 5k and will do one at 10k. I always replace the filter and I have a magnetic drain plug to collect shavings that may pass through the filter in case it ever is compromised.
Ive always used Mobil1 oil and filter and have 130k miles on my Veloster
Avoid Castrol. Use Mobil1 or LiquiMolly.
I'm using 5w40 and never had issues overheating in summer but im not doing half hour pulls. No oil consuption also. With 5w30 when driving hard it was eating a lot of oil.
Personally, I use Mobil1 oil in all my "regular" cars, and I often get a discount at O'Reilly when buying 5qts at a time. It's usually around $35 for a 5qt jug. That's pretty cheap.
Mobil 1 is one of the better, but you could use any 0w-20. I'd just say stick with a name brand and not something from a gas station.
mobil 1 high mileage synthetic has been good to me.
I would love it if the whole world moved away from fossil fuels and completely to renewable energy resources. Myself included. However, for many practical reasons I currently own a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, and when it needs an oil change I change the oil myself. So what oil do I buy? I buy Mobil1.
We exclusively use Mobil 1 (varying grades and viscosities) per the MFR spec and changing it at the MFR spec mileage (or time, during covid). Never any issues noted. 1985 BMW K100RS (122k miles), 2003 Boxster (177k miles), 2012 Acadia (98k miles), 2013 Jetta SEL (105k miles).
I have ran mobil 1 0w-40 for a long time without issue but am thinking of switching to thicker this change as it's starting to leak out one of the oil seals into compressor housing.
I ran M-1 15w50 for 10k miles or so, and my car ran 10 degrees hotter on average than with any other oil I've used. Throttle response also felt sluggish.
