Engine oil Mobil or PENNZOIL

Mobil Engine oil

Ive owned four 5.7s starting in 2005.

Changed all of them with 5w20 full synthetic, no real allegiance to a brand, but always a major brand (Mobil1, Valvoline, etc); typically 5k - 7k miles  between changes .

2005 had 250k , burned no oil, died when it hit a tree

2006 had 240k, would use 1/2 qt over 5k miles after about 225k.

2013, traded in with 225k, burned no oil.

None of these ever had a valve cover off.  I purchased the 06 and 13 new.  The 2005 I purchased with 100k on it.

The 4th is a 2021 with 35k on it. So far, so good.

Pros: high mileage, little oil burn
Cons: some oil burn in one

PENNZOIL Engine oil

Ultra platinum 5w20, in the summer when I’m towing my boat a lot I’ll use 5w30 ultra platinum. That’s about it. The key thing is oil changes every 5k, do not do the 10k oil change interval

Pros: good for towing

PENNZOIL Engine oil

2014 1500 with no tick (85k miles). New to me truck and I’m running Pennzoil ultra 5w20 with a Royal purple filter. I might switch to the redline but the PUP was more accessible to me. In theory I live somewhere it could be super cold this time of year but it hasn’t. Depending on when I do my next oil change I might do the 5w30 if it’s going to be hot for awhile.

Edit to say that 5k oil changes for me max. I did my first one at 4k because I didn’t know what the engine had in it and wanted to get something good

Pros: no tick, accessible oil
Mileage: 85000 km

I had consumption issues with Mobil-1 0W-40 in the W8, and Castrol/Valvoline 5W-40's showed signs of wear at higher mileage intervals when I ran a 10,000 OCI as recommended by VW.

Cons: consumption issues, signs of wear
Mileage: 10000 km
