Engine oil VALVOLINE or AMSOIL

VALVOLINE Engine oil

I have a 2011 Escape Hybrid 2.5L with about 175,000 kms. I run Valvoline Advanced 0W-20 full synthetic as recommended by my mechanic. I've found it much better on fuel economy in colder weather than the 5W-20 for multi-seasonal use, especially in colder weather regions (I live in BC, Canada).

Pros: better fuel economy
Vehicle: Ford Escape
Mileage: 175000 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil

I’ve gone down an oil research rabbit hole many a time. There’s been some extensive studies done and besides liqui moly, studies have shown that Valvoline extended protection has some of the best wear-prevention additives and performed among the best in lab samples pulled from used oil.

Pros: best wear-prevention additives

Amsoil also makes a oil specially formulated for hybrid vehicles since your engine turns on and off more frequently than an average car. Amsoil has a higher Flashpoint than most conventional oils which reduces the amount of oil your car burns.

Pros: higher flashpoint

Pros: good additives, high viscosity
