I went from 20w60 to 10w50 and now I don’t get that cold start rattle. If you’re in a super cold part of the world I’d go for a 10w or 5w oil, with a higher 2nd number for good viscosity for an engine @170,xxx kilometres. Also, make sure you run quality oil filters, like Mann filters as the cheaper filters seem to not have very good quality anti-drainback check valves in them.

Pros: no cold start rattle
Cons: metallic rattle sound (with 20w60)
Mileage: 170000 km

Got a workshop quote me for engine oil change $550. I do it myself with liquid moly and Mann oil filter cost me $200.

It's fun DIY your car, changing engine oil isn't too difficult , just learn from YouTube.

And it's only takes 30 mins to do it.

Pros: fun DIY, not difficult
Cons: workshop quote expensive

Personally I like K&N filters, they come with a nut welded to them so you can use a normal wrench instead of a filter wrench. Gotta be careful not to over tighten them though

Pros: nut welded to them
Cons: careful not over tighten
Vehicle: Subaru

Changed the oil, and filter this summer. All well and good before. After a little while, a screeching sound from the oil filter housing. Collapsed filter? Nope. Replaced it with another new filter and same issue once again. On the slightest rev the sound is gone. No more Mann for me…

Cons: screeching sound, filter collapse
Vehicle: BMW

Not sure about mobil1 filters, but stay away from K&N oil filters. I've just used one for an oil flush after extensive maintenance work, and after just 100 km it had collapsed.

Cons: collapsed after 100km
Mileage: 100 km
