Engine oil IDEMITSU or Pentosin

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.

Pros: developed for rotary engine
Cons: hard to find

Pentosin Engine oil

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.

Pros: Pentosin is fine
Vehicle: BMW

IDEMITSU Engine oil

The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.

Pros: trace metals normal range
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 12500 km
