Engine oil Mobil or Pentosin

After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change

I have a 2020 Corolla se with the 2.0l and I use 0w-16 from Mobil 1 which makes Toyotas oil for them.

Mobil 1 15w-50, Viton o-ring from any automotive or industrial supply house, Wix or NAPA(mfd by Wix) filter.

I use Mobil 1 15/50 in the engine, rotella t 15/40 in the primary, and Mobile 1 75/140 in the transmission.

I was using 0w20 because of price but got some mobile 1 deal 0w16 for cheap so I'll try that and see if I get better MPG (currently 35-42).

Google the Mobil 1 “million mile car”.

I run Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 oil for my ZX6R. I love it. I change it every 3000 miles.

Anyway, the only 508.00 spec oil I've found locally has been this Mobil 1 ESP X2 at Wally World. (walmart) Anyone else running it? Anyone seen any deep analyses? I put lots of Mobil 1 Delvac through 2 TDIs totalling 485k miles, so I'm willing to bet on this Mobil 1. I like being able to pick it up locally, and at only $28 for 5 quarts!?

Throughout the summer I was averaging a quart every 750-1000 miles, still using Mobil1 15w50 & Viscoplus. This winter it dropped back down to 1 quart every 500 miles, but as the weather has warmed up, my consumption seems to have decreased again. I think that had something to do with the oil, which was admittedly way too thick for cold weather. I would let the car warm up a couple minutes before driving because that oil is syrup in cold weather.

I know when I put my stroker block in with stock head/turbo I filled it with 0w-40 and I would get low oil pressure when deaccelerating down hills.. Low enough the light would flash on, got my freaked out! with the new head. and my 71r 72a/r set up going on I'm swapping to 10w-40 mobil 1, because when I took the old head off there was a TON of carbon build up for the small amount of miles I had driven the new block around(less then 2,000 miles). I had changed the old twice already(once ot get the break in oil out and once again at 500 where I dropped the pan to check for metal and such and up in a new pick up tube for piece of mind). I have good reason to believe the 0w-40 is just too thin for the clearances for stroker pistons and such. I'll report back once the car is up and running with the 10w-40 in it. If the oil pressure problems persist I'm thinking about stepping up to 10w-50, but Im in southern California so YMMV depending on how cold/hot it gets around you.
