Engine oil VALVOLINE or PENNZOIL

I run Pennzoil ultra platinum oil and GM syncromesh trans fluid

Ultra premium is the best oil after amsoil, but amsoil is too expensive for this car, pennzoil is the best and cheap

I was a diehard Mobil 1 Extended Protection guy, but fell into the hype about Valvoline Restore & Protect. Tried it on my 2015 Mazda6 2.5 with 95k miles and have to say I'm impressed. I bought it used, it was using about a quart every 3k maybe, and had some blowby. Otherwise ran good, had several 40+ mpg tanks. 

Switched to R&P, after 1k the blowby went away and after 3k it looks like it stopped burning oil.

Mobil 1 "eh" oil. It's okay, not bad like royal purple but better off on Vavoline or Pennzoil. Also Motul but that's expensive shit. Amsoil is okay, it's one step above OEM.

I've been using penzoil platinum

I’ve used nothing but Pennzoil Platinum since the free oil changes ran out, 150k or so now, and never had a problem.

My 2007 camry is on 22k km (engine 2AZ-AE). No oil burning so far. Always been using penrite 5w-30 while servicing between 5000 to 8000. Only one time had burning smell while running engine on Valvoline 10W-30. Changed the oil at 3k, after that smooth as it was.

I prefer ultra platinum over mobil 1 since ultra is used with a group 3+ base oil, which has better heat handling than regular group 3 oil.

Valvoline full syn high mileage and black OEM filter - 113k miles and it doesn’t eat any between changes.

Eh if it’s VW approved then it’s fine. I just use Castrol Euro or Valvoline Euro and haven’t had any issues.
