Engine oil Mobil or RAVENOL

I personally lean towards affordability, so I run Mobil 1 0w-40 because the local parts stores run sales for $35-40 pretty regularly.

I had a tiny bit blue smoke and thought it was sticky rings.

Ran mobil1 5/30 and it's gone.

Personally I've mostly been using Mobil 1 15w50, as it's almost never run in the winter.

Mobile one full synthetic hands-down. I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla and a 2007 Toyota Tacoma I’ve owned both since brand new and now both have over 260,000 miles apiece . I have only used Mobil one full synthetic changed every 5000 miles. just took a bore scope to look into both engines a few months ago. They look like they’re brand new. Almost no varnish. Absolutely no sledge, never had any problems whatsoever with these vehicles. It’s insane.

my vehicles use only Mobil 1 oil.

I have used Motul and Castrol before and I found the Mobil oil to perform and keep the engine cooler and smoother on my triumph.

Mobil 5w-40 or Liquimoly. 10w-60 for hot summer track days.

Mobil 1 AFE 0W-30 is what they used at the dealership and I’ve read a bunch of other people use it. I use it. Supposedly better than the mopar one.

My changes have generally been religious at 5k and that didn’t save my GTI from losing compression in cyl3 at 37k untuned miles it suffered 15% leakdown vs the other 3. That car got M1 0w-40, tried and true stuff, so you just never know.

I was running it in a VR6 engine, and couldn't believe how much extra chain and lifter noise there was. I put up with it for a couple weeks, thinking it might get better but it didn't, so I switched to Castrol Edge 5w-40 and noticed the difference immediately. Noise means wear, so I feel comfortable staying away from M1 for my VR6 engines.
