Mobil 1 FS is the absolute best you can give your car, in my humble opinion, but any modern fully synthetic will be more than enough.

Pros: absolute best, fully synthetic

IDEMITSU Engine oil

So if you review the virgin oil analysis database, it includes idemitsu 0w-20 and 5w-30 and for both, the TBN is rather weak in comparison to other more readily available blends, also, the viscosity at 9.5 cSt for a 30w, some 20w come close to that. Does any of that matter? Not a whole lot, but it shows that there's nothing special about the oil. Generally speaking, higher TBN is better.

Pros: nothing special about oil
Cons: TBN is rather weak

Cons: engine burned oil
Mileage: 10000 km
