Engine oil Mobil or VALVOLINE
Mobil 1 in all my vehicles recently. Basically only because it’s cheap on Amazon. Always paired with a Wix XP filter though
I'm using Valvoline 0W-20 Restore and Protect, changing every 4,000 miles. '23 OBW, 56,000 miles. FYI, I did an oil analysis at my last oil change. Wear numbers were excellent, less than 1.5 ppm/1,000 miles. 3 iron, 2 aluminum, 1 copper over 4,128 miles. Fuel dilution was HIGH though, at 4.3%. They expect 1.5- 1.8% for direct injection turbos. According to the Motor Oil Geek, less than 5ppm/1,000 miles is considered good. I do a fair number of short trips, but also some longer runs. I'm going to go to max of 4,000 miles due to the gas dilution.
I have a 2012 Camry all 10k oil changes running Mobil one exclusively and it burns no oil with 270k miles.
I’ve used it, no complaints.
I use the Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 which is synthetic *and* meets JASO, just because it is always available at the nearby Walmart.
One oil that seems to work from all the videos I've watched for cleaning varnish is the Valvoline Restore and Protect.
I use this on my Hyundai Elantra for the past 100k miles ... It's already at 200k and the engine still feels new ... I use Valvoline for everything including power steering ... Valvoline syn blend is a great oil option ...
Valvoline protect and restore has more detergents than any other I believe to clean out thew gunk. I've been running it in my car for 3 oil changes now.
Legit. Worst case scenario it doesn't do anything, but I've seen some improvement in my Cadillac ELR. Engine is quieter and lots of sludge was removed. But fwiw lots still remains and the varnish is basically untouched.
And that mobil 1 stuff is yess ,, ass. I learned the hard way. Its like water tbh.
