Engine oil Mobil or OEM BMW

Mobil Engine oil

I'm fairly sure Mobil1 makes the Toyota branded oil, which is what I'm running in my 2023 Hatchback XSE. I'm using the Toyota 0W8. I also plan on keeping my car for as long as the wheels turn.

Pros: using Toyota branded oil
Vehicle: Toyota

I have a BMW e36 and it is standard practice to run an extra quart of oil at the track to prevent oil starvation and lifter tick. I have been doing it for years with dozens of track days along with many other people I know with no issues.

Pros: prevent oil starvation
Vehicle: BMW

Exactly. Change the oil pressure switch. I would spend $50 and get an oil pressure test set with gauge and check pressure to be sure. Oil must be synthetic that meets proper spec. 5w-40 mobil1 European does.

Pros: check pressure to be sure

There’s been a lot of advancements in oils since the YJ was new. I use Mobil 1 0w40 in mine due to its excellent temperature range and proven endurance.

Pros: excellent temperature range

Oil changes are cheap enough now that Mobil1 ESP 0w-30/5w-30 which is Approved by VW as 507 spec is around $28 per jug at Walmart. I'd change it more frequently and not chance it on the 2015 TDI engines in USA.

Pros: approved by VW
Cons: engine failures

CKRA Passat, 164k miles, every 10k miles oil changes since new without negative experience. I did a Blackstone report once and oil looked good. I have used Rowe, Liquimoly, Fuchs and Mobil1 ESP.

Pros: oil looked good
Cons: no negative experience
Mileage: 263934 km

Yeah, this has bothered me for a bit. I like the Gen.G team, but I didn't attempt to get any of their free merch at Rotterdam, precisely because I don't want to be a walking Mobil 1 ad.

I used US Mobil 1 0W-40 in my old 1.8T (mk4). I used it for two changes (finished off a box) and always found it was burnt at only 3k miles. You could smell it as soon as I pulled the dipstick out.

Pros: easy to find
Cons: burnt at 3k miles
Mileage: 3000 km
