Engine oil VALVOLINE or Mannol

For my Ford I use motorcraft because it's oem.

For my high mileage Honda I've been experimenting with how the oil "looks" after a change. I know it's not technical but the valvoline oil seems to hold up well.

I've used Mobil1 many times but my last oil change I decided to use Valvoline 5W-40 MST SynPower which is actually on the list as a 502.00 oil.

Valvoline full synthetic 0W-20 changed every 5k, oil filters I prefer oem but recently it’s been whatever is on sale at advanced auto

Just changed oil today (same oil as above) at 104,728 miles. Purrs like a kitten.

Valvoline Synpower 5W40 I've been running this (VW 502.00 approved) in our '07 Audi 2.0TSI for over 100K mlies, 10K oil changes, and no issues.

Valvoline SynPower Full Synthetic 5W-40, VW502 approved. I use it in our '07 A4 (over 100K miles) and plan to use it in our '16 GSW.

5W-30 Valvoline SynPower (full synthetic) and Mahle filter since I picked this car up at 89k in '11. Just cleared 175k last week.

I think what helped as much is the valvoline oil. Valvoline really agrees with my motor. Not sure why I have trouble with some of the other blends, but it's really quiet with the ashland add-pack.

Valvoline VR1 non synthetic. It is one of the ZDDP oils. Reasonably priced and the Z seems to like it.
