From my own experiences, M1 is excellent. Been putting it in my 30 year old Celica for 7 years, gotten 160k miles out of it, 320k miles on the original motor in total. My buddy’s Corolla had a bad timing chain slap on startup, went dead silent ever since swapping him over to M1. I just stick to what I know.

Pros: M1 is excellent
Vehicle: Toyota Celica
Mileage: 257495 km

My wife drove her 2008 Passat 2 miles per day for six years. As you can imagine, during these very short drives in winter, the oil became diluted - this was born from sever UOAs. So, I changed the oil every 1,500 miles and the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Over-kill perhaps but based upon my personal expectations, worth the time and money. We used Mobil 1 0W40....which sheared to a 0W30 fairly quickly and stabilized.

Pros: stabilized after shearing
Cons: sheared fairly quickly

I used 0-40 mobil 1. It turned out pretty bad for me, I ended up using more oil than I ever had before. The car smelled like a friggin chainsaw with that stuff. The engine only had like 100k on it, but the blowby was horrible with 0-40. This was just my experience. I use mobil 10-40 now and no problems so far.

Pros: no problems so far
Cons: blowby was horrible
Mileage: 100000 km
