Have noticed on several times that when I went from Subaru OEM oil to Amsoil BACK to OEM that it runs much quieter and smoother on Amsoil.

Pros: quieter and smoother
Cons: Amsoil is so expensive
Vehicle: Subaru

Mobil Engine oil

I use the Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 which is synthetic *and* meets JASO, just because it is always available at the nearby Walmart.

Pros: synthetic and meets JASO

I use M1 5-30 because I've ran it in well over a dozen cars and beat on all of them without issue, and it's only $28 for a gallon jug at walmart. I also run liqui moly ceratec to silence the typewriter tick it developed around 35k.

Pros: no issues, affordable
Cons: typewriter tick
Mileage: 35000 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil's biggest 'benefit' is a longer service life. Their additive pack doesn't break down as quickly, so you can run it longer between oil changes. However, if you're paying twice as much and running it twice as long, it's a wash and you're not gaining anything. When I was selling Amsoil, I had a modified 4 banger and a high mileage 24v that had both been running Rotella for the entire time that I owned them before switching to T6 when it was introduced. I pulled UOA samples every 1k miles, then switched to Amsoil Signature after 5k and did the same thing except I pushed the Cummins to 10k. Zero improvement in fuel dilution, wear markers, or carbon build-up. After seeing there was no real-world benefit, I stopped selling it. I won't market a product I don't believe in, let alone one that I see as an outright scam.

Cons: no real-world benefit
Mileage: 10000 km
