Looking for recommendations on which oil.
2004 Volvo S60 R, 120,000 miles. Driving is 40 miles round trip to work mostly on back roads averaging around 40-45 miles per hour. Not much stop and go traffic. Summers get into the 80’s winter very few winter days below 0. My car is stock. I change my oil every 7500 miles and it uses ¾ quart between oil changes maybe a bit more depending on driving habits. I’ve used only synthetic. Currently I have Mobil 1 0w40 and it seems to be pretty good. I’ve driven 2500 miles on the oil and haven’t had to add any oil which is a bit of a surprise since with the AMSOIL 0w30 I would add 1 quart during this 7500 mile period. I’ve heard some good and bad about the Mobil 1 0w40 so I’m looking to see if there are any other recommendations. I was going to try the AMSOIL Series 3000 5w30 HDD but too expensive. Would an extended mileage oil be worth looking into?
I like the AMSOIL but having to order on line and lately with price increases it’s not worth it especially since they don’t make an extended life oil filter and I prefer to change my oil and filter at 7500 miles. Thanks.
