Engine oil Mobil or Castrol
I would trust a 0W-20 in a Toyota or Honda. After all, Honda and Idemitsu invented 0W-20, while Toyota worked with Idemitsu on 0W-8. I’ll reluctantly use it in a Subaru(and it must be Mobil 1 ESP X2 or Castrol Edge gold bottle with Mercedes/BMW/VW and/or GM dexosD/dexos2 approvals) but switch over to a ILSAC or Euro 5W-30 once warranty is up.
Castrol edge is just fine, even the cheapest one is likely better than whatever was good 20 years ago.
I like Mobil 1 0w-40, has more zddp than most others.
I’ve been using mobile 1 European blend for over 100k miles, works great.
0-40 M1 Euro. Stage 1.
It was the cheapest I could fine locally. I was looking for Penzoil 5-40, but could not find the Platium Euro I was looking for at the time. The M1 is known to be on the thinner side, and I am in Cali so that works. It is also known to keep things super clean inside the motor.
stick with vw 508/509. Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w-20 is like $27 at walmart and is 508/509.... Also, 508/509 has a tracer in it so if you need engine warranty work and they drain the oil, they'll be able to tell.
I live in WNC I run 5 30 mobil 1 high mileage year round. Motorcraft filter
295,000 miles using Castrol GTX high mileage and fram XG filter
Daca e motor de la VW atunci recomandarile mele ar fi Liquimoly Longlife III, Motul 8100 X-Clean+, Mobil 1 ESP.
Reprezentantele folosesc in general Castrol Edge LL. Dar eu nu prea sunt impacat cu brand-ul asta.
I only really noticed issues with oil consumption when I use mobil1, so I try to avoid that.
