I run Pennzoil or Motul depending on if I grab filters locally (Walmart for Pennz) or buy an oil change kit online (most use Motul). I would have no quarrels running Toyota's oil (Mobil 1), Subaru's Oil (Idemitsu), Valvoline, or any of the other reputable brands in my car
2016- 130k miles and counting. Stage 1+ tune (Bren tuning). Clutch @ 90k. AOS is great. Motul oil every 4K miles- get the fumoto oil drain valve to make it easy.
have run penzz plat 5-30 for the entire life of the car almost, recently switched to the high mileage version as im pushing almost 150k miles on it.
I do Motul @ 5k.
I’m at 133k with no weird noises, knocks, etc.
i use pennzoil plat every 3k seems to be fine for the past 57k miles
I go every 5k using Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30, though it's just a stock engine/tune and more than half are highway miles
for my Focus mk1 2002 1.6 i use Ford motorcraft at the last 2 changes but motul 8100 is totally fine, prev owner used it for 50-60k kms without issues(i know the owner, the mechanic, and i got a huge pile of paper as service history). odo is close to 280k. oil consumption is 0.5-1.0litre / 10000km depends how heavy my shoe is on highways. most important is oil spec and visco. any “good named” brand from valid source will work perfectly. i prefer motul and eneos, but this is just me, they do exactly the same: works no question. just change it regularly. i do mine at every 10-12k but i commute to work 100km 4 times a week, my oil barely operates cold.
The engine itself runs great with the 48K I put on it in the past 2.5 years with biannual oil changes (Pennzoil Ultra Platinum). Averaging 27 MPGs on 91 Octane hwy miles, 24-25 mpg in the city.
I run 10w40 5100 motul now. on all bikes etc.
Clutch doesn't like the full syn stuff.
I blew up my first motor at the track on Motul.
