Engine oil Mobil or ZIC

Mobil Engine oil

Ive owned four 5.7s starting in 2005.

Changed all of them with 5w20 full synthetic, no real allegiance to a brand, but always a major brand (Mobil1, Valvoline, etc); typically 5k - 7k miles  between changes .

2005 had 250k , burned no oil, died when it hit a tree

2006 had 240k, would use 1/2 qt over 5k miles after about 225k.

2013, traded in with 225k, burned no oil.

None of these ever had a valve cover off.  I purchased the 06 and 13 new.  The 2005 I purchased with 100k on it.

The 4th is a 2021 with 35k on it. So far, so good.

Pros: high mileage, little oil burn
Cons: some oil burn in one

Go with whatever is easy for you to source and also meets the VW502.00 standard. I personally run Mobil 1 0w-40 or Liquimoly 5w-40, whichever I can get cheaper.

Pros: meets VW502.00 standard
Vehicle: Volkswagen

My 911 has over 100k, I switched to 5-w40 mobil1. I’m sure driven is fine too, but mobil1 is perfect and designed for our cars, cultists be damned.

Pros: perfect, designed for our cars
Vehicle: Porsche 911
Mileage: 100000 km

I used mobile one 0w40 but burned oil so I filled it up again idk might be cause of the heat or of course the motor which would be normal, but I usually aim at chaning the oil every 8k or half miles on my 2.0t TFSI engine and now I'm using 5w40 motul for my up coming oil change

Cons: burned oil
Mileage: 8000 km

Fellas, Don't bother running Mobil1 for extended period of time. I have done 2 consecutive oil tests on Mobil1 0W-40. One with 6200 miles and the other was at 4700 miles. Used OEM filters in both cases. Results: With the 6200 mile drain interval, the iron and the lead levels were up there through the roof! With the 4700 mile drain interval, the iron was within average and the lead was couple of points above the average.

Pros: iron within average
Cons: high iron and lead
Mileage: 6200 km
