I use either Mobil 1 0w20, or Royal Purple 0w20. For the filter, I use Fram Titanium. I do all routine maintenance myself. I've got a 2015 SR DC with 388k miles, and have never had any issues. It still runs perfectly.
Plus I've been told its a better filter typically from the dealer.
Quality air filter changed regularly. Quality oil filter Frams higher end stuff are surprisingly well made for the $.
My XJ channels its ww2 roots with Ford diesel oil and an FL-1A filter.
These oils are only as good as the filters you pair them with.
I used a FRAM oil filter on the car at my last oil change and it turns out it collapsed internally triggering a low engine oil pressure to my ECU. The garage (VW/Audi/Porsche specialized) told me to never use anything other than Mann filters on my GTI since everything else is either gonna collapse or be more expensive than the Mann for no added benefits.
The cardboard construction on a Fram filter would have come apart.
Only filter I’ve ever had fail on me is a FRAM. Never again.
I think I tried using a Fram filter on my '99 truck once, and the filter was designed ever so slightly differently and as a result I lost all my oil in a week.
Wal-mart typically only stocks the Fram filter (gross) for my truck. FRAM (avoid) is PH2. All of them are fine except Fram, unless you are in a pinch.
