When I dumped my dealer Syntec 5w-40 for M1 0w-30 in Dec, it was night-and-day. Way lighter and better.

Pros: lighter and better

Cons: 5w-40 is very thick

I have noticed my car is "running better" with the Rotella, and i have not had to top it off at all compared to running Motul 5w40 i had to add quite a bit over my OCI.

Pros: running better

Cons: had to add quite a bit

Vehicle: Audi A4

Just changed my oil in my '02 Camaro. It has the LS1 and just rolled over 150,000 miles. I use Mobil 1: 5w-30. It hasn't seen anything other than Mobil 1 so that's what I use haha.

Vehicle: Chevrolet Camaro

Mileage: 150000 km

Mobil 1 extended performance 5w-30. I don't drive many miles and I want the extra life of the oil in months. Plus Mobil 1 is factory fill on my LS2.

Pros: extra life of oil
