Mobil 1 since day one (first oil change). 5w-30 (as per vehicle spec). 316k+ original owner miles. Virtually no carbon or varnish.
I will say after switching to mobil1 in one of my rigs it cleaned out a hell of a lot of shitty carbon deposits and crap in the valvetrain. Looked nearly new when I pulled the valve cover at 210 thousand miles.
I use Mobil 1 because it's the only oil that prevents VVt noise in my NB Miata
I've only used Mobil 1 5w-30 Full synthetic. I think it's the only oil I would ever use. This Mobil 1 oil has simply been the one that I used from the get go, mainly due to recommendations, and it does what it needs to do. I feel confident using the product.
The Toyota mechanic who has a YouTube channel (Car Care Nut) has previously said that Toyota OEM oil is Mobil 1 (with a few exceptions for collaboration cars).
Mobil1 15w-50 (red label) was always good to me, and readily available at wally world. Never had lifter tick in my S50US, on track or otherwise, and it went to 298k before the head gasket gave up. Absolutely could have resealed the engine and ran it another 100k+ (swapped an S54 instead).
I use M1 Extended HM with an stp premium filter. Go about 10-13k between changes.
I mostly use the 0W-40 full synthetic Mobil 1 "European" or w/e they call it. I change my oil every 5K miles, including filter (Mann).
I personally use full synthetic Mobile 1 usually.
I had consumption issues with Mobil-1 0W-40 in the W8, and Castrol/Valvoline 5W-40's showed signs of wear at higher mileage intervals when I ran a 10,000 OCI as recommended by VW.
