Similar with my Audi but with Valvoline.
This weekend, the oil that's in it is coming out (it's clean) and Valvoline Restore and Protect is going in. Rationale is there will undoubtedly be deposits on the pistons, in the piston ring grooves and ring lands.
I use 0w40 Mobil 1 all year round. I live in upstate New York, so our winters can get pretty cold at times, and summers can be in the 90s F for days at a time.
My V70 2.5T is almost at 190k miles. I add about 1 quart of oil between oil changes at 5k intervals and my car has been trouble-free since I purchased it at 107k miles in 2017.
Do not cheap out on oil. I use Mobil 1 high mileage but Castrol is also good.
I've been using Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE in my VN for over 18000 miles now. No issues and runs fine.
I just rolled over 200,000 in my 2011 5.7. I change mine every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage 0W-20.
Mobil1 V-Twin 20W-50 in all three holes.
I heard you can throw 20W-50 (Synthetic, specifically V-Twin Mobil One brand) in all three holes and have no issues.
That Mobil 1 5w-30 has a tendency to burn off, so it might be a bad combo.
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.
