Cons: oil consumption, air injection DTC

Mobil1. Period. Years of personal experience. When I was in my 20's twenty years ago I was using Motul too because everyone else was and I didnt know any better. Try them out. Detergents, how clean the oil remains after each oil change and how smooth it runs were some deciding factors for me.

Pros: clean oil, smooth run

Castrol Engine oil

I use Castrol Edge. It's cheap and good. I drive a lot and I change oil every 3k miles so 5qt for $25 just fits my life better.

Pros: cheap and good
Mileage: 4828 km

  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.0

My 14' outback burned 1-2qts between oil changes based on driving (lots of short trips or visits to the mountains burned more.) Never had any blue smoke on startup or during driving.

Down to .5-1 qt low after 5000 miles now.

Pros: reduced oil consumption
Cons: moderate acceleration knock
Mileage: 5000 km
