I use 0w-40 euro blend Mobil 1 in the winter and royal purple 5w-30 in the summer and usually try to get an k&n filter or something of similar quality it’s not always about the name but its definitely worth some research
For my Z with 210k miles i switched to the one your holding and it burns less. I get an extra 150 to 200 extra miles compared to mobile 1.
I always use full synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30
There was a dude on YouTube that did a test. Mobil 1 performed the best, followed very closely by Amazon basics
Man, just changed out the oil in my 2000 Crown Victoria Police interceptor yesterday with this. I HAVE USED THIS VERY OIL for close to 20 years. My shit runs as good as it has since I first drove it out of the Orange count sheriff's dept, Parole dept. auction lot. Never use anything else.
When it comes to brands most good brands work fine like Mobil 1, Castrol, Valvoline and so on. All these oils even including the cheaper amazon brand oils have been tested by the American petroleum institute and they have a stamp on every bottle.
Since then, I've changed my oil to a low SAPS VW 504 Mobil 1 5w30 ESP X3 which according to lubrizol has superior resistance to deposit and sludge formation. At this point, I've got consumption down to around 1qt/1400 mi which is a great improvement from where it was before. Hoping for further improvements with time but pleased with progress.
I’m slowly switching to Mobil1 since I started doing oil analysis.
It has no sodium and therefore a good way to see if there is a coolant leak.
I usend to run syn 15w50 in my tired old vr6 all year round, it helped with seeping issues, lifter noise and all if that. but the oil pressure would be through the roof during first start. so I'd set aside a few mins in the morning to let the car idle, relax, listen to a song and let it get some heat in it. on a normal day, the star up pressure would be .5 bar past the filter bypass (10 bar), warm idle was 2 and a bit, and everything above 3.5k was back to the bypass.
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.
