What motor oil do you use?

[JAWKNEEBEE]

I have close to 200,000 miles and was wondering what type of oil I should use right now I do use a synthetic oil from oil Can Henry's. I'm wanting to do it at home and save a few bucks.

Will probably get tons of different reply's.
I use high mileage synthetic Mobil1.

Iv always been a castrol guy myself. In my 87 mustang before I replaced the engine that had about 220K miles on it. I was running castrol high mileage. When I removed the heads and checked out the main on the original engine there was no build up or gunk once so ever I'm sure I could have rebuilt that engine and had no issues but I got a deal on a build block. I had gotten the mustang around 150K miles and beat the living crap out of the motor, I was 15-21 years old having that car and you can only imagine what kinds of things I did to that poor engine. It had small bit of blow by at the end of its life so I wanted a transplant and so got a bored engine better pistons and bigger heads. In all I ran the castrol high mileage from the day I got it and after each night at the local drag strip I would change the oil and that engine turned out to be good when I replaced it. That's just my experience and have gone with that oil since that day.

Mobil 1 high mileage 5w-30 here. 147k miles. I bought my truck new, and ever since I started doing my own oil changes (65k miles or so) I've been using Mobil 1.

edited to add: I always change my oil when the oil % gets to zero. I've never done it based on mileage.

Castrol or Mobil 1. My dad always used castrol

 

[FoxDen]

Mobil 1 5-30. Run it in every vehicle I own. 1997 Suburban has 230k on it. Have ran Mobil 1 5w-30 for 10 years with no problems.

I've got 260k miles...using 5/30 Mobil Super High Mileage. With this many miles, I couldn't justify the synthetic cost when I'm doing oil changes every 3k miles. Nope, never waited for the oil change message.

137k AMSOIL XL 5W-30 Synthetic with Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter (through research I've picked it out as the most fitting and highest performing oil filters out there) every 6k miles of course I could go 10k but I don't like the sound of changing it every 10... If I were to go any other route I would definitely stick with Mobil 1 5w30 for sure.

Redline 5W-30 and a k&n filter. Change about every 5k miles and comes out pretty damn clean. Id use castrol if I had to go to a local auto store.

 

[Chizzychase]

Valvoline 5w30 high Milage synthetic blend with a generic auto part store filter. Just as long as you keep up with your oil changes it shouldn't matter too much

 

[fiatdale]

Royal Purple or Mobil-1.

 

[08grey]

Valvoline MaxLife 10w-30

Why 10/30 burb?

Ditto.

 

[aces-n-eights]

I've had good luck bringing my own oil and filter to an oil change place and they do the change. They usually charge me around $20 for the labor. Sometimes that's worth it to me and other times i change it in my garage...

I stopped buying the Expensive stuff. I started using the the free stuff. I work at a deanship, so i get 5w-30 synthetic blend, Access to a lift and usually end up changing my oil about 50%
