In my experience of trying many different oils, what I think are the best, as far as the engine running cool and smooth shifting are: 1. Redline 15w50
I noticed a massive difference switching from 0w-30 to Mobil 1 FS 5w-40 in my NG 93. Engine sounded better, burned WAY less oil, and no noticeable fuel economy or power difference. I also used Ceratec a few times and that made it feel smoother.
Ran quieter on 5-40 heavy duty diesel Mobil 1
Felt more powerful, but that may have been a perception from quieter and smoother power. Others on Saabnet reported the same.
If you're oil change is specified for longer, buy Mobil 1 in the correct spec grade and change it then, you will save money and use less, which will keep your cash in your pocket not the oil industry's.
Make sure to use dexos GM approved oil or that thing will start making weird noises. I’ve only used Mobil 1 and not had any issues. Stay away from the cheapest stuff. You might regret it later.
Mobil3000 5W-30 even boosted my oil pressure and helped with cooling.
140K '19 Tigi 2.0T, switched from Valvoline 5W20 Syn to Mobil 1 0W20 ESP (Dexos D). Changed oil due to oil consumption and secondary air injection DTC. The "latest" member of the Mobil 1 family touts lower emissions (less vapor in the PCV system).
Mobil1. Period. Years of personal experience. When I was in my 20's twenty years ago I was using Motul too because everyone else was and I didnt know any better. Try them out. Detergents, how clean the oil remains after each oil change and how smooth it runs were some deciding factors for me.
Honda oil is overpriced and mid. Mobil1 is just mid. Neither are good regardless of the kind of consumer you are.
I just go to crappy Grease Monkey and do full synthetic Mobil 1 for like $100.00. Then I drive home, and double check their work.
