Engine oil Mobil or ZIC

After some digging through some bimmer forums i saw people say viscosity is less of a factor than ensuring it's LL compatible. So the closest visosity i found in store was 5w-30 and i chose mobil 1 euro spec that was Ll-01 compatible.

I put Mobil1 high mileage full synthetic 5w-30 in both my car and my wife’s. The same gets put in the snowblower and lawn mower. It’s been that way for years and they both cut the grass and throw the snow from -30F to 100F weather just fine.

I would trust a 0W-20 in a Toyota or Honda. After all, Honda and Idemitsu invented 0W-20, while Toyota worked with Idemitsu on 0W-8. I’ll reluctantly use it in a Subaru(and it must be Mobil 1 ESP X2 or Castrol Edge gold bottle with Mercedes/BMW/VW and/or GM dexosD/dexos2 approvals) but switch over to a ILSAC or Euro 5W-30 once warranty is up.

I like Mobil 1 0w-40, has more zddp than most others.

I’ve been using mobile 1 European blend for over 100k miles, works great.

0-40 M1 Euro. Stage 1.

It was the cheapest I could fine locally. I was looking for Penzoil 5-40, but could not find the Platium Euro I was looking for at the time. The M1 is known to be on the thinner side, and I am in Cali so that works. It is also known to keep things super clean inside the motor.

stick with vw 508/509. Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w-20 is like $27 at walmart and is 508/509.... Also, 508/509 has a tracer in it so if you need engine warranty work and they drain the oil, they'll be able to tell.

I live in WNC I run 5 30 mobil 1 high mileage year round. Motorcraft filter

I use mobile 1, 0-20w in my 5.3 GMC. 3k miles every change w filter. In the colder months it looks brand new coming out. Little bit darker maybe. My most recent change with the past month being 85+ I noticed it finally being very dark and red.

I learned mobil 1 is the absolute worst oil to use in Subaru engines, especially ej257. Simply because it is good oil but because of the poor oil cooling the detergents burn in the engines causing premature wear.
