Engine oil Mobil or VALVOLINE
Google the Mobil 1 “million mile car”.
I run Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 oil for my ZX6R. I love it. I change it every 3000 miles.
Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?
I use either Mobil 1 ESPx2 European Car Formula 0W-20 available at Walmart or Valvoline Full Synthetic European Vehicle 0W-20 from NAPA. Both are approved VW 508 00 oils and can be cheaper than the oil at the dealer.
If you want brand recommendation choose Valvoline Extended Protection 5w-20 every 4k miles.
I’ve been running mobil delay esp 5w40 it’s been working well for me.
Cummins uses Valvoline premium blue.
I've always put Mobil1 High Mileage in my 2013 Scion tC, IIRC Mobil1 is what Toyota uses at the factory. I had a heavy upper oil pan gasket leak that's largely stopped since switching to high mileage oil.
She burns ~ 1 Quart/5000 Miles.
I tried Mobil 1 15w-50 for about 15 minutes (literally!) in my 2.0 one time. The valve noise at startup was so bad I drained it immediately.
