Your favorite motor oil

[explorer]

I know this is a detailing forum but I need to know your preferences.

As you all know I drive a Ford and a Suzuki.

The Ford gets the brand Ford uses(Motorcraft) and the Suzuki gets Penzoil because that is what the Suzuki dealer aroud here uses.

Now I ask this because the last time I checked the oil on the XL-7 I did not like the feel of it on my fingers it almost felt sandy, I change the oil acording to recomendations(3 months or 5000 KM's).

I want to use good oil even if I have to pay a little more.

What oil do you use and how does it feel after the recomended change period .

I use Castrol GTX 5W30 for my 4runner. i change it every 3k (although book says 5-7k) and i love it. i've used valvoline too, but feel it runs better with castrol.

Mobil 1 0w20 in the honda civic
Amsoil 10w40 in the honda aquatrax f12x turbo jetski

Amsoil 10w-30 but I'm switching to the 0W-30 for the winter since it flows a little easier.

Amsoil 5W-30 ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way...both cars (2 Civics). Always have always will. Usually change it 2x per 1.5 years or so.
Might switch to 0W-30 someday....BK1, you will have to let me know how that works for you.

My dealer uses Pennzoil but they just changed to Castrol. I heard Mobile One is pretty good

[BlueZ71]

Mobil 1 Syn 5-30.

[HilfigerCelica]

I've been using Pennzoil for quite a while. So far so good......

I've been using Penzoil in my Accord for quite some time. Can't argue with 267,200 miles on the odometer.

When I get something else, I'm switching to synthetic, either Royal Purple or Mobil 1.

Been using Mobil 1 in my Dodge truck. It's been pretty expensive though. Approximately $60 an oil change. Luckily I drive on average only 7k miles per year. I change oil every 5k miles.
