Engine oil VALVOLINE or AMSOIL
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).
Was using motorcraft, switched over to Amsoil. Cost is the same maybe a couple dollars more.
I personally run Amsoil and always have. I think they make a great product and their customer service is solid.
Valvoline Restore & Protect. Its no joke.
AMSoil signature series. Best stuff you can get!
I've used Mobil 1 in all my vehicles before this car. I have chosen Amsoil Signature Series for the WRX.
I use Valvoline Synpower
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.
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.
My current favorite is valvoline 5w30 full synthetic. There are oil analysis of new that show it has a high 100 C viscosity and it has a ton of really good additives.
