Engine oil Mobil or VALVOLINE
If you're oil change is specified for longer, buy Mobil 1 in the correct spec grade and change it then, you will save money and use less, which will keep your cash in your pocket not the oil industry's.
Make sure to use dexos GM approved oil or that thing will start making weird noises. I’ve only used Mobil 1 and not had any issues. Stay away from the cheapest stuff. You might regret it later.
Generally agree with everyone here that it doesn't matter that much.. except for the relatively new Valvoline restore and protect. Seems like it actually does gradually clean out your engine and it's not just marketing bs
I’ve been running it in my 1992 Nissan D21 truck with over 200k for the past two oil changes and it’s gotten rid of a lifter tick it had for the past 20k miles. Runs a bit quieter too. Pretty good oil.
I've been using it for the past 3 oil intervals. I've seen a few oil analysis on the stuff with a few that came from FA24 engines and its wear protection is just as good or better than any GF6 oil out there. Its supposed to also meet the New GF7 oil specification as well that just came out in March.
I’ve had great luck with “Valvoline Restore and Protect” I have a Sportage with the same 2.4L, it burns 4-6 oz. every 3,000 miles. Used to burn 1 qt every 500 miles.
Mobil3000 5W-30 even boosted my oil pressure and helped with cooling.
140K '19 Tigi 2.0T, switched from Valvoline 5W20 Syn to Mobil 1 0W20 ESP (Dexos D). Changed oil due to oil consumption and secondary air injection DTC. The "latest" member of the Mobil 1 family touts lower emissions (less vapor in the PCV system).
used mobil 5W-30 while ago, discovered it consume oil too fast. after that i’m stick with seasons cheapest LL01 approved oil. Elf 900FT 5W-40 for several years, going to try Penzoil 5W-40. N52 consume oil anyways.. but bit slower than 5W-30.
I tried Mobil 1 in a Vortec 5.7. That engine did not use oil using Castrol or even Walmart dino oil. IT did use a quart at 1000 miles using 15-40 maybe it was 15-50 Mobil 1.
