Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or VALVOLINE
I’ve gone down an oil research rabbit hole many a time. There’s been some extensive studies done and besides liqui moly, studies have shown that Valvoline extended protection has some of the best wear-prevention additives and performed among the best in lab samples pulled from used oil.
I use 0w-20 liqui moly molygen full synthetic. Really a great oil.
Liquimoly
It's made in Germany. My bike is made is Germany. Makes sense to me.
It's a quality product but it's quite a bit cheaper than Motul or Penrite. I like to use something good but I won't overpay for it.
My current favorite is valvoline 5w30 full synthetic. There are oil analysis of new that show it has a high 100 C viscosity and it has a ton of really good additives.
On my 2022 my first change I used Mobil 1 Full Synthetic (always used in my cars). However, my last change I put in Liqui Moly Molygen (green container) and it may be a placebo but I feel like my engine is quieter.
I use Motorcraft or LiquiMoly for my oil... It does a great job too and tends to have less of the burned oil smell.
I use Liqui Moly Molygen Next Generation 0w20 because I get dirt cheap oil changes with it. Also, it glows in the dark which is pretty rad.
I used Shell Rotella T6 initially on my 2006 BRM...but have switched to Liqui Moly Toptec 4100 and find the motor runs smoother on LM over the Shell.
I personally run the valvoline, seems to be a tad quieter on the valvetrain.
On my 2016 GTI with 211K on it, the only oil used was Liquimoly. From 0 miles to 200K miles it burned a quart every 3500 miles and that never changed at all.
