What kind of oil do you use?

Mobil 1 since 1975...

 

[Auto tech]

Popeye uses Olive Oil

Only for certain things

Mobil 1 0W30 Full Synthetic High Mileage-Toyota 2GRFE
Supertech 5W30 Full Synthetic-5.7 Vortec

 

[wpod]

I have confidence using oil from any of the majors. M1 0w-40 would be what I would say is a great off the shelf oil available at Walmart Although I will say the others in the same tier are probably equal. i have never had an engine failure from the oil I chose.

Clearance oil

Kirkland 5W-30 in my 2018 CX-9. Nearing 100k kms, been using Kirkland for over 40k.

CLEARANCE OIL

Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30 when it’s warm and 0w20 when it’s cold.

 

[goingplacesanddoingstuff]

Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30 when it’s warm and 0w20 when it’s cold.

PUP 5w30 is perfectly fine for cold weather.

Valvoline 5w30EP in my truck
HPL 0w40 in my snowmobile
Amsoil 0w40 in my ATV
Mobil 0w40 in my drag car.
So...half/half I recon.

Couldn't you select just one of those 0w40's?

I started using Havoline on my wife's Kia Soul which has/had some oil burning issues. Was going through about a quart every 1000-1500 miles. 500 miles into most recent oil change and no oil lost.

Top shelf/Boutique Syn
Major Brand Syn
Major Brand Blend
Major Brand Conventional
Private/Store brand oils

I usually buy major brand Syn oil for change and then a store brand Syn for top offs.

How about you?

For the past two years I've been running Mannol Extreme 5w40 in my bike and have no complaint.
I put it through some harsh working conditions and it's still good.
It will go in my other bikes and car too, oh, it also has a JASO MA2 rating, so that's fine.
In fact, I just ordered 2 x 20L containers to get the free shipping break on it. Works out at under €4 per litre doing that.

This morning I used avocado oil. I find it's neutral flavor works better than EVO when frying eggs.

5w40 in everything. Keeps inventory down. I go through maybe 150 gallons a year, so nothing crazy.

Can't even remember all my vehicles and equipment. Probably approaching 40 engines now.

 

[Rogueman2016s]

Full synthetic usually the best price I can find in 0w20

 

[TheRuley]

I buy whatever FS 5w30 is on sale for my old ford ranger. No need to overthink it with my old truck.

M1 0w40 and clearance oil

this explains why All Fleet oils are such a useful thing.You might not know what oil the equipment specifies but you do know what it is going to get.

After spending much time thinking about different oils I came to conclusion that you better off using cheapest oil that has latest API specs and change it twice as often than recommended by manual.
