Engine oil Mobil or PENNZOIL

I’m running Penzoil ultra platinum 5W-30. The instructor I drove with said he runs 5W-30 in his gen 1 BRZ track rentals.

I use Mobil 1. Meets MB spec and can get 5 quarts at Walmart for $30.

I used to use Mobil 1 in my IS 350. I can confirm my engine was quieter on cold stars when I switched to Ultra Plat.

Have an 07 Silverado bought new first oil change switched over to Mobil one used that until one of the hurricanes hit Louisiana and started having a problem getting it so switched over to Pennzoil full synthetic. Truck has 368000 on it and seems to be still going strong so I’d say it’s your choice.

I use Pennzoil Platinum. Is it the best? Who knows, but I’ve been using it for years on several vehicles and never had an issue.

I’m using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, really helped how effortless my acceleration is and gas mileage.

I tried to use the Pennzoil high mileage full synthetic the most, but if I didn't have the bit extra for it, I'd get Walmarts generic full synthetic high milage. I always used a Fram full synthetic filter too, they were the only ones around me that were better quality and decent price for the time. Mine got to 200k no problems!

I have an 07 Rabbit with the same 2.5L. I tried Mobil 0W40 one winter. It was OK for about the first 6000 KM, then the engine began to sound like a diesel.

I stay away from Mobil 1 and Castrol because although they are everywhere they are not as good as they euro synthetics. In Europe they are not even legally considered synthetics. When I drain mobil1 it looks black and the engine is missing a quart...
