Engine oil PENNZOIL or RAVENOL
If you can get your hand on it try some Ravenol with UVSO, it's like bottled Magic. Engines run so smoothly with it, father in law thought the engine was off with it.
Pros: engines run smoothly
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
Pros: API SP rated full-synthetic
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.
Pros: high mileage version
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 241401 km
i use pennzoil plat every 3k seems to be fine for the past 57k miles
Pros: seems to be fine
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 91732 km
I go every 5k using Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30, though it's just a stock engine/tune and more than half are highway miles
Pros: stock engine, highway miles
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 8046 km
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.
Pros: engine runs great
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
Mileage: 48000 km
In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I drive a 2021 RAM 1500 Classic and use only Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with the extended guard filter cartridges. I change my filter cartridge at 5,000 miles and reset my light then at around 10,000 miles, I change the oil and cartridge. There was one time I forgot to change my oil before winter and didn't feel like doing it in the cold so I ended up around 15,000 miles before changing it. The oil was still fairly clean.
Pros: oil still fairly clean
Mileage: 5000 km
Ravenol VST 5w40 for now when my oil usage is nearly 1L for 1000km and I will probably go for the Ravenol RCS 5w40 after I rebuild the motor.
Cons: high oil usage
Mileage: 1000 km
I know I was using penzoil back when I had a 90 325i, locked my engine up solid, mechanic said it had too much paraffin so yeah it matters personally I only use Mobil 1 synthetics
Pros: only use Mobil 1
Cons: locked engine up
Vehicle:
BMW
