Engine oil Mobil or ZIC

Mobil Engine oil

I've always put Mobil1 High Mileage in my 2013 Scion tC, IIRC Mobil1 is what Toyota uses at the factory. I had a heavy upper oil pan gasket leak that's largely stopped since switching to high mileage oil.

Pros: leak largely stopped
Cons: heavy oil pan leak

I use 0w40 Mobil 1 all year round. I live in upstate New York, so our winters can get pretty cold at times, and summers can be in the 90s F for days at a time.

My V70 2.5T is almost at 190k miles. I add about 1 quart of oil between oil changes at 5k intervals and my car has been trouble-free since I purchased it at 107k miles in 2017.

Pros: trouble-free
Cons: add 1 quart between
Vehicle: Volvo V70
Mileage: 305777 km

I just rolled over 200,000 in my 2011 5.7. I change mine every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage 0W-20.

Pros: full synthetic
Mileage: 200000 km

I typically use whatever is cheapest and proven oils for all my cars. I have an '08 2.5 and have been using T6 5w40, they typically run coupons for them for $20 or 25.00 for the gallon jug. No, it doesn't get VW's official stamp of approval but it seems to do pretty well in this application and seems quite popular amongst various other makes especially Euro cars that require a 40wt oil. Quite honestly, I'm pretty sure you can run a quality 5W30 in this motor, it is not anything special. I've run M1 0W-40 and although it has the VW spec labeled on it, my car always had a faint tick coming from the valve cover area (lifter?) when warm. It never did this with the T6 oil in it.

Pros: VW spec labeled on it
Cons: faint tick when warm

I'm running Amsoil 5w40 or Castrol Syntec 5w40. I ran Mobil1 10W30 a few times and I heard too much valve noise. When I opened the oil cap after driving around on the freeway it was smoking..which I'm not all that happy about. So I stopped using this oil.

Cons: too much valve noise, smoking
