New Engine, 10,000 miles - which oil?
#11
I was not aware of that. Course, I never looked for it either . Everything I have takes 5W30 or 0W20.
Looks like 0W30 is available in though. Mobil One oil is also pretty good, and I have used it on occasion when Quaker State wasn't available. Sometimes I have to order QS 0W20. Both are fine oils, it just comes down to preference between them.

Mobil One has fallen out of favor across many venues. They make decent oils but are not as good as they used to be.
I read this guy's findings when choosing oil. He runs pressure tests on a wide range of oils, to the point of scarred metal,. Some of his rhetoric can be off-putting but it's hard to find objective oil tests out there. Each manuf will tout their oil as the best, yada yada. There are a whole bunch of gimmicks out there, such as "Castrol Edge with Fluid Titanium Technology".... sounds great right? It ranks 104 on his list.
If you want to skip a lot of reading and jump to the results, press CTL-F and search for "begins here" However, scroll up from there a short bit and read his ranking system first. You can also press CTL-F and search for your current oil to see how it ranks. Overall for the price, QSUD is the best rated at an affordable price.
