Engine oil Mobil or Lucas

I exclusively have used Lucas oil for my sportster motor for 5 years. The bottle looks cool, that's it. Full synthetic oil, no frills, cheap, and easy to get.

After some digging through some bimmer forums i saw people say viscosity is less of a factor than ensuring it's LL compatible. So the closest visosity i found in store was 5w-30 and i chose mobil 1 euro spec that was Ll-01 compatible.

I put Mobil1 high mileage full synthetic 5w-30 in both my car and my wife’s. The same gets put in the snowblower and lawn mower. It’s been that way for years and they both cut the grass and throw the snow from -30F to 100F weather just fine.

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.

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 only use Mobil1 High mileage. Everytime I drop the oil at 100%, it feels less oily? Kinda less slippery? Definitely darker than I would like. My feeling is change it a little early.

Mechanic put in mobil1 FS 0w-40. Car went into limp mode exactly at end of trip. engine was running rough and would not go above 40mph. Engine light was on. MB dealership denied warranty for an exhaust issue, stating the Mobil 1 oil (mb229.5) did not meet their required specification (mb229.51).
