Just got off the phone with LM reps.in Germany....can't secure sponsorship to continue my disinformation campaign here on BITOG so out. With HPL since I can only pick one there is likely some other issue like a Zombie Apocalypse so this way I'll never need to change it again.What?Not LM from FCP? Weak
What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

Even though I am now using M1 0W-40 in my van and M1 0W-20 in my Prius, I think M1 0W-30 would be a good compromise for both vehicles. Even my Honda lawnmower could use it.

My first would be an HPL 5W-40. However, going with what I could afford it would be Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 C3 with its other stringent specifications although I don't need all of them for my cars.
In my 2006 Silverado ext cab 4x4 5.3 Vortec I have to go with whatever high mileage full synthetic 5w30, usually Supertech, I get Quaker State or Pennzoil or Havoline or Valvoline or Mobil, whatever has the best deal or a good rebate!
For my motorcycles, I like Castrol Actevo synthetic blend 10w40.

I was deliberately vague in my requirements, as I didn't want to influence the answers. Enough time has passed, so I'll now be more specific.
I was hoping people would give me specific approvals, as opposed to brands, or even viscosity grades. That didn't really happen, but that's ok.
I have personally settled on Shell Euro LX 0W-30 (Packaged as Canadian Tire, Motomaster OEPLUS European), as it "meets" MB 229.52, VW 504.00/507.00/Porsche C30 and ACEA C2/C3 requirements.
It will soon be in all of the car listed below. Cheers

Quaker state 5w30
Schaefer’s oils are majority Group-III just like many Exxon-Mobil products. Same for most Amsoil products. Schaeffer’s also uses Group II.
Redline Oil 5w30
I’m already there with Mobil 1 0w-40.
It goes in ‘02 Jaguar XKR, ‘66 Shelby GT350, ‘66 Ford Galaxie 500, Ford Mustang, and last but not least, 2012 Honda self propelled lawnmower.
Apocalypse ? No problem, bring it on.

The one on sale with a rebate!
When western civ ends you’ll see every dusty car running around with thrice used 15w-40 and baling wire.
Haha, posting #57 from me talks about approvals and only at the end did I mention Pennzoil because of the available rebates. It is Dexos 1 Gen 3 which is also an API SP. I used 5w30 in SM, SN, SN plus and now SP keeping up with the latest API spec, as well as GM Dexos 1, Gen 1, Gen 2 and now Gen 3 as they became available, in my 2008 Suburban. It now has 250,000 miles and doesn’t burn oil. I fairly recently switched to Euro oils just in case the clearances are larger after 250,000 miles. Power on!
