Owner reviews for engine oil

I have a 2020 Corolla se with the 2.0l and I use 0w-16 from Mobil 1 which makes Toyotas oil for them.

I often go for liquymoly or Motul 4t 10-w40 fully synthetic oil for my big machine.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 255,000 miles Redline 5w30 full synthetic Wix Filter Lubegard Biotech with each oil change....... 5,000 mile intervals. Had a hemi tick when i purchased used in 2007 {off lease} with 32,000 miles on it. The Redline and lubegard have a hefty amount of moly in them which helps keep the insides slick and hemi tick at bay.

Oil being dark is a good indicator that you have to do an oil change. However, you shouldn't wait until it changes color to do it. Clear oil doesn't necessarily mean you can keep going.

It is well established that boxer engines want their oil changed and I do not think for a second that a visual inspection is valid for determining if it is time. Highly, **highly** recommend you change the oil per the manual without hesitation and regardless of what it looks like.

LiquiMoly oil is the best. Top tec 6310 0w30 is what I use for the THP.

Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.

20w 50 Valvoline VR1 is all I use. It’s expensive but because the gearbox and engine use the same oil you need a high zinc oil and VR1 is the best out there in my opinion.

Smedia had a video about this and he had more wear with less miles using Motul over Castrol in a Blackstone report. So for me just the convenience and price of Castrol edge I'd pick it over Motul. Knowing it had less wear wear was the nail in the coffin of buying overpriced and often several year old Motul.

Castrol. I've just always used it. A bit of advice though, i'd recommend staying away from Pennzoil, I had to clean an engine out after using it. Nasty, waxy stuff.
