Best Motor Oil Brands

i wrote the comment about havoline oil being the first multigrade i beleive vavoline is very good oil with out doubt it would be my second choice i have build a good many engines in my life some stock some high perforance all done well with ether oil

in a multigrade oil i beleive that havoline was the first to come out with that like 10w-30 maybe around 1960,s all weather oil i run a business with trucks under severe conditions engines winding up and down stop an start all day long without any mayor problems still use havoline today in what ever

My 'Shell Rapid Lube' just changed to Valvoline. I googled Valvoline and am very impressed with the rating: #1 out of 40+ available oils. I think I am going to like this transition -- after spending long relationships with Quaker, Pennzoil, Castrol GTX, Shell oil and now Valvoline. (Most disappointed with PA oils, particularly Quaker, experiencing blown valve with dried, black, crusty Quaker oil in there! Engineer turned me to Castrol, saying Quaker spends on advertising; Castrol on engineering. I like the idea of Valvoline!

Amsoil is KING of synthetics and their filters are top shelf. You get what you pay for.

I used to use Quaker state in my muscle cars back in the late 60's and early 70's. I think quaker state just got to commercial and offered an ok product. Our cars now run on valvoline semi-synthetic 5w30 oil and both vehicles run super quiet, engines purr like a kitten. Highly recommend valvoline over quaker state

Yes i use Penzoil Active G5 S/N rated oil works great on my engine and its prety cheap too...!

They make an average product however their high mileage is great for a leaky engine

Valvoline is always rethinking motor oil: THE 1st oil, THE 1st multigrade oil, THE 1st higher mileage oil, THE first recycled oil.....do i need to say more

Valvoline = the ONLY oil brand to offer recycled options, which are even better than the original because they're cheaper!! NEXTGEN

i used synpower and it's clean after 10000km

First motoroil brand in the world and still is the number 1 in the world. In my older car I used the MaxLife 10W40 and in my new car I use the SynPower 5W30, never had any problems and the engine looks as clean as if it came out of the factory yesterday.

I have worked for Valvoline Instant Oil Change for about 4 years and I have seen a lot of vehicles and customers that will only use Valvoline, some because they and their family have always used it and some for issues with other oils, some people have just heard so many good things about our heritage and long time fascination with how to make our oils better!! like some have said before me, all of our oils including the new release of the Nextgen Synpower, are formulated in an economically friendly oil that offers the same protection, (if not better) for your car, yet it cuts down on the natural resources used to make other oils, and all of which are backed by Valvoline's limited engine guarantee. Supervisor, Camden Yohe

VALVOLINE SYN POWER 5W30 in my engine OMG BEAST absolute BEAST... BEST EVER!!! I used all the other brands But when i put this in my car I felt LIFE, POWER, SMOOTHNESS and PERFECT for EARLY MORNING start up espcially in the cold it warms up so fast!!!

I really like this oil because of it's efficiency. Good brand.

I love this oil!

I have used Valvoline conventional oil off and on throughout the years. My brother that is a auto engine machinist swears by it, but I have had better results with Castrol GTX.

valvoline 100% been around the longer. first ever engine guarrentee. now nexgen same protection better for the envirment by reducing raw materials and still garenteed. think about it...very little marketing. you see a mobil one commertial every hour.

VERY..VERY GOOD OIL..GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO MOBIL OIL...BUT HAVE TO SAY I PREFER LUCAS BETTER

My step dad used Valvoline for over 50 years. I've used it for 20 and never had a problem. It's the only oil I will use!!!!

my uncle got a 98 chevy suv is got over 200,000 mile on it he used vavoline, ask him was the best best motor oil is , vavoline the best

Best protection, hands down. 100 years of proven protection.

valvoline oil guarantees your car can make it to 300000 miles when your oil is changed regularly.guarantee sells the product in one word

valvoline is the best because my dad used it all the time and my uncle used to

Very effective

Never mind Valvoline, the Best i have seen and noticed a difference in my engine was from Royal Purple.......! Truly The Best oil know to Man Hands down..!

Mobil 1 doesn't even make a true synthetic oil anymore. You people who believe the advertising need to get out from in front of the tv. Mobil makes an average product. Pennzoil is better and costs less. If you want a true synthetic royal purple,red line,motul,Amsoil and G oil are the real deal.

Valvoline is always rethinking motor oil: THE 1st oil, THE 1st multigrade oil, THE 1st higher mileage oil, THE first recycled oil.....do i need to say more

I have started using Mobil 1 fully synthetic in my toyota camry and my car runs very smooth and performance is better

Use it in my jeep. My jeep seems to like it, runs smooth, the engine is quiet. Definetly using this for the rest of my life.

yess petronas oil is great but hard to find, give it a try its awesome!!!

I use PETRONAS oil, much more efficient than Mobil1, try it :)

Mobil/Exxon is the worst oil. Valvoline is MUCH better, and they offer a 50/50 oil now that's awesome!

I use mobil 2000 5w30 in both my taxi with interval of 10000km, by far better than anything else

Great quality at a fair price!

Forgot to say that i meant usual oil with much zink in it

I always used Mobil 1 oil on my Porsche 911 twin turbo but the last year i tried Castrol synthetic oil and it was just as good. Nothing bad to say about Mobil 1 but i would like to know which oil have the most zink in it? I need oil with much zink for my old 1965 StingRay coupe

mobil's new super syn. is a good syn. at a good price. try it.

I use 10w30 mobile high milage ...in a nut shell by far theee best oil u can BUY...!!!

Amsoil's new OE oil beats Mobil 1 in performance but better yet in cost. $4 per quart if bought by the case. NWSynthethicMotorOil.com come and see the difference. You will not be sorry.

top runner up MOBIL 1, like the person above said thats true

I use castrol gtx 20w50 for my old mivec engine. engine perform superb compare to my previous local blended oil.

I used Castrol exclusively for years, until Valvoline's NextGen came out. Both great products though.

my car isnt that old but i have a 2001 volkswagen jetta and we have had it since 2004 and we have been able to get it to 186000 mile and it has been in all types of weather you can think of but i have been using castrolsince we got it and it still runs like new and looks like new you just have to know how to take care of your car for it to last

I have a Chev utility in South Africa.... Here as standard they use Castrol Magnatec,I have changed to Liqui Moly supreme diesel oil 15w40... Makes a very big difference in fuel consumption,engine heat and the oil gets to the pistons much faster after start up... Not saying Castrol is bad,I have heard some negative comments in the Castrol that sludges up,but this Liqui Moly just gives me more confidence that my engine is better protected...

Best oil for me, but expensive

The most over rated oil on the market,Sludge galore in my new engine 85 chevy 2.8l after just a couple of years and it was changed on time,terrible oil,wouldn't use it again in a bicycle

I've used 5W 30 Castrol for over 30 years, using other brands, off and on throughout that period. Nothing that I have used seems to run as quietly or smoothly as Castrol. It seems to give the best fuel economy too. Of course I have only ran conventional oils, no synthetices, to this point.

I dont think there are better motor oils than Castrol, Shell Helix and Mobil 1. Further discussions even doesnt make sence. The giants have been on the market from 19th century. All others are the sons of them))

The best conv. oil out there "Castrol GTX"

Fantastic performance oil, Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 and I have trialed most of the leading brands. I run 6 cars from classic GTR-XU1 Torana's to modern V8 engines, only on Castrol oils.

i think castrol edge is the best oil, i tried it and its just perfect

Been using Amsoil for years now. In my Harley and both vehicles. Cars run great. Change the oil every 16,000km, which is elimanating 2 oil changes a year. 25,000 mile filter is awsome. Using this I am saving over $400.00 a year including fuel savings. I am a Amsoil dealer as well, so if your in need go to www.pamperyourmotor.wboil.com. You can also call me to order. My website has all the info.

Ug..all synthetic oil is top notch no matter what u argue...its the filters that can't keep up with the contaminants. Am soil, Mobil, Pennzoil, if u didn't know what you were putting in you would not know the differences you claim to see.

Only AMSOIL “The First in Synthetics”® has offered 40-years of 25,000-Mile Synthetic Extended Oil Change Drain Interval Technology. The Highest Professional and Ethical Standards since 1972. Because the oil was capable of performing for extended oil change drain intervals, and it was the right thing to do for the consumer. The Choice is Yours. Who do you really want to trust your extended oil change drain intervals too?

If AMSOIL didn’t work as stated for the past 40 years, you would see law suits from the FTC for false advertising and AMSOIL would be fined some big hefty fines for making such claims and pretty much go out of business.

I am an engine builder by trade. This is the best oil that I have ever used. Redline is a close second. Brad Penn is great for break ins.

Amsoil is a v.good syn. oil but it's hard to find. the only place i could find it is on the internet.

Not as expensive as one thinks, do the math and see what it really cost per year to use AMSOIL, also look at the wholesale price, accually cheaper than some group 3 wantabe synthetics.

Yes other synthetics make big claims their the best, it's funny you don't see any of the other leading brands including AMSOIL in their testing results, or putting a 25k or 35k drain interval on their bottle. Goes to show you who is the best.

Best TRUE 100% synthetic in the industry, Period.

You won't find a motor oil any better than AMSOIL. All will claim to be the best, but Amsoil can prove it.

best oil but expensive

We have used nothing but Royal Purple since day one and wound up with a 1/4 inch of thickened hardened sludge around the entire oil pan that eventually broke loose and plugged up the oil pump. I don't know what happened. We have been using Royal Purple for many years at our shop with no problems whatsoever. But now we're seeing this problem on several other vehicles. We contacted Royal Purple and they have yet to investigate this problem. So all I can say is be careful, it's not worth losing an engine if there happens to be a few bad batches out there.

The HPS Line is one of the nest oils on the planet. Great stuff

i have mercedes benz and a corvette and mazda miata and all three use royal purple and the oil lasts way longer

So you solved your fast oil break down because royal purple has a higher film strength than most other engine oils it's is the leader because of all their extensive research to produce the best product they had ran multiple cars and trucks on a dyno to get a base line of what kinds of power they are getting with the oil the other oil then flush all fluids and put in new royal purple engine oil transmission fluid and differential fluid all royal purple and ran them on the dyno again to get a base line with all the fluids changed they saw a big difference plus royal purple film strength is four times stronger then mobile1 witch means it will last longer wont break down as fast and can Handel Hugh revving import engines and high horse power muscle cars if you want more protection get royal purple if it wasn't good race car drivers would Not use it and neither would race car engine builders think about it it can with stand about 25,000 pound per square inch aka psi others can't touch that if you want more protection add a zinc additive so make your decision.

Converted from regular to Synthetic, and I chose Royal purple after hearing all great reviews. It completely cleaned out my engine, and my Volvo XC70 gives me 38 mpg thanks to Royal Purple's high viscosity with protective additives that decrease wear and tear. It does the same thing for my Sister's rebuilt Volvo 760 Turbo. I would use no less than the best and the best is Royal Purple.

who would run purple oil in there engine, not me.

always a bad idea to put an "oil" in your engine if it has "dye" added to change the color. a red flag goes up here, thinkn about it.

it is the oil the best oil i had a problem with my passat G60 when i used to push it with high rev the oil temp used to go up i have used every kind of very expensive oils nothing helped only with the royal purple i did solve the over heating oil problem.

I don't recommend any oils that contain MOLY as a additive.

Thats why R/P fails in test data so terrible.

My Chrysler 300C 5.7L Hemi loves the Royal Purple treatment. I've tried most of the other brands in various cars, but I'm sold on Royal Purple. To get better performance, you'll need to spend a LOT more $$$.

Amsoil only wish he it can be called Royal Purple. That's too bad because there is only one Royal Oil... which is Royal Purple.

Pennzoil is great stuff my old engine loves it.!!

Regular pennzoil is the best regular conventional oil produced. It's cheap,keeps engines clean and isn't lying to you about what's in the bottle....mobil

Got over 315,000 miles on my 99 gmc 1500 and it's been a farm truck for most of it's life. Pennz is all that I've ever put in it and changed the oil every 4 thousand miles or so and it's still doing fine.

Use it in my plow truck and have it running at highland rpms and never have had and problem with The motor

Pennzoil is is a great motor oil it was the only one that would not cause sludge or burn up in the 95-2000 toyota camry 4cyl's these fact can be found on the internet. Sludge is the owners fault not the oil

Well, I'll be honest as a mechanic and engin builder, unless Pennzoil changed there formula then it gums up engines. I tore a 350 down that used Pennzoil for about 10 years and it had low oil pressure. Probably due to the fact that the gum inside went from the lifter valley all the way to the bottom of the intake and the oil pan was the same way.

I've used Pennzoil YB and Ultra in both my cars for the last year and there's been no problem. In fact Ultra made a noticeable drop in engine temperature in my Jeep.

Gums up your valve covers, not for me.

Have built, repaired, and operated my own vehicles for 40+ years.Have subjected some of them to severe service, such as hauling heavy loads of wood on dirt mountain roads in summer. Tried several brands in high-mileage engines and compared consumption. Best=Valvoline or Castrol, worst=Pennzoil. Runs through a high mileage engine like water when weather is hot.

How do u know that did u use it? Cause I have always used it I'm 23 and still have the same car as when I was 16 no one else I know can say that all I ever used wad Pennzoil, I heard cavaliers were throw away cars after 100k mine has 150k and still runs great

This sutff shouldn't even be called motor oil. It gums oup the motor & has more sludge biuld up than any other oil out there. Trash in a can.

Won't even provide oil for 3rd party, non-biased testing. Garbage.

is so bad for your car

I tried the Total Quartz 9000 Future for my camaro, it is extremely excellent, cool engine, very smooth, very clean. I love it.

use to use it amazing! when i first had bought my car engine was really dirty took off the oil cap and you can just see the sludge. after the first oil change switching to elf noticed a huge difference. a year later i rebuilt the motor for a project and wow was it clean. now they switched TOTAL witch i don't know if they have the same blend

I have been using Valvoline Synpower 5W40 in my Hi-performance Chevrolet 350 engine for the last 5 years with no problems. I switched to Motul X-CESS 5W40 about 2 years ago and have noticed a difference in the engine making horsepower and it staying cooler while driving on hot summer days. both oils are recommended by me as the engine runs very quiet no ticking sounds from either oil. Give Motul a try you might like the way your engine runs.

From my NA ride to my current turbo charged engine... Motul have never disappoint! The best!

that is perfect

it's a pure engine develop brand! from monograde to semi syn, fully syn to ester & double ester! All i have use, it's a perfect oil for far i'm using it on my ride, give more power, save fuel & cleaning for my internal engine as many mechanic saw with their real eyes!

USED AGIP IN MY 2006 2.8 JEEP C R D .WHAT A GREAT OIL DID A 11.000 KM THEN HAD IT TESTED CAME BACK FANTASTIC.SON TOOK IT UP COUNTRY WITH CARAVAN FOR 2 MONTHS DID 16.000 KM AGAIN TESTED IT STILL HAD LIFE LEFT GREAT OIL ......10 POINTS

Have found there 15w40 Super Turbo Diesel to solve oil consumption problems my fleet of buses.

I have 2 Diesel Mechanics that service my Cummins 330. They do not know each other BUT both demand I run nothing but ROTELLA T if I want them to warrantee their. work!

The T6 diesel oil is all my uncle runs in his truck with no problems, good oil.

I work only on high reving engines that work under servere loads and heat and the only engine oil that can keep up with these conditions is shell. I have tried all the above montioned oils and non of them performs and can take the punch like shell does.

Go to the track and take a look around. Schaeffer Racing Oils have a very strong racing presents, and an even stronger reputation. www.schaefferoil.com

Not a bad oil, but TORCO is the leading brand imo when it comes to race oils.

The best racing oil out there but it's kinda hard to find.

This oil is pumped out of Bradford Pennsylvania, true US 100% oil and has a High total base number & will not break down with race fuels.

Great oil. Very popular with the Hot Rod Car guys as the Green Oil! They also have a great motorcycle oil.

does this oil gum your motor up?

False Statement on the only 100% American oil.

What do you mean that its the only 100% American oil product on the market. Amsoil is 100% made in the USA and Proven the BEST. All other oils claim to be the Best but Amsoil can accually prove it.

Also the Oldest Refinery in the USA

Recommended by top Racing Cam Builders

love this oil cheap and gives great protection. I use it in my plow truck which gets ran at high rpms and still holding strong.

i had a 1997 ford car with a 4.6L v-8 engine used havoline parked it at 265,000 miles no engine problems parked because the intake manifold crack again not because of the engine still did,nt have even a lifter click used i quart in 3000 miles on changes not bad

pretty sure havoline came out with 10w-30 oil first of the bunch of all oils an still dollar per dollar you can,t beat it if i was building a 25,000 dollar race engine i would still use it.

used havoline oil ever since back in the 1970,s my friend was a engine builder had a business that produced sometimes 2000 remanufactored engines a month he always said that theres oils that cost more but they hadn,t prove that were any better.

My dad swore by havoline . And I have used it in all my vehicles for 30 years and have had no problems it's all ill ever use.i think it's the best period.30 years of use for me and god only knows how many years my dad used it enough said.(Havoline) use it .

Well, ya, it's a good industry leader world wide. I ran the 20W50 in summer months and 5W40 synthetic in winter months in the old 454 CID up north and it performed well. And 10W40 in the Buick while overseas and living down south and up in the midwest and 10W30 in the Cadillac still today. Back in the old API SG days. Can't complain. No engine break downs or sludge issues but I was a 3K mile oil change dude. Now I'm a once or twice a year oil change dude. Great for the price and is as good as the more expensive stuff.

Great oil. I use it In all my work trucks and have never had a single problem with The engines

A quailty oil at a good price, i'm sold.

Have seen the inside of 2-3 engines run all or most of their life on Havoline. All of them were older (60s-70s) V8s, all were coated internally with a thin, hard crust of sludge.

what it says, half as good as valvoline

Amsoil has plenty of 5W-20. And superior quality and performance.

of course it is plentiful of 5w-20, its Ford's newly recommended weight.

Has one of the better quality synthetics I've seen. Comes readily in 5w-20 see little stock of this weight in other brands.

This motor oil is used by ford motor company and has seemed to be a good oil all around.

Their new defy line is simply fantastic. Used oil analysis shows no wear using this oil.

Often referred to as Quaker bake!

The Parifin in oil is not wax.......get the facts....duh

I'm been selling oil for 35yrs Quaker St is unfairly blamed for sludge,the cleanest engines I seen were Quaker States,the thing is it was changed when it was supposed to be. I've used it for years no engine problems what so ever

Very true. It has parafin and other poor test data. I stopped using it in 1974.

Easy to find but not that good.

one of the worst engine oils to put into your engine, i knew someone that had to rebuild their engine cause they used this fool stuff. when He got into the engine he found a ton of sludge build up. he you could take your hand and put it into the engine and have it come back out with a hand ful of sludge whom wonder why that poor engine stop working and ran its last time.

Used by so many manufacturers... "just the best"

the best lubricant line and most highly refined inthe world no other oil line can say this also has the widest range of product.

The Best oil for my Honda

Valvoline has Next Gen witch is the best rerefined oil out there.

Has helped my noisy valve train become quite. Has also improved my MPG

One of the best blenders on the planet. You get what you pay for and red line delivers the quality

My mom uses this in her Jaguar XKRR and would use nothing else. The mechanic works on her car is a high performance car expert, and knows good oils, and Redline is near the top of the list for being one of the best. IT keeps up with the high reving V8 engine, and has done a great job in making sure the engine lasts long. It's a great oil that ranks up with Amsoil, Vavoline, Royal Purple, and Mobil 1, a highly recomended oil. My boss has a high performance motor cycle and will only used Redline oil and nothing less.

one of the worst top of the line syn. oils out there and it's not cheap to buy.

Mobil 1 is all advertising hype, My 6 litre GTO much prefers Castrol Magnatec 5W-30, it's an amazing performance difference that Mobil has proven to never deliver.

This stuff is fantastic. The additives are amazing. I live their cera-tec and mos2 additives. They eliminate wear completely. If you want to keep your engine like new and have it last 1000000 miles,use this stuff

A good oil available at Mills Fleet Farm

Superb motor oil.like it~!

Fastron's full synthetic... Its the best oil you can get! Any other big oil companies are using the same source from Fastron's country, Indonesia.

Did you know that most top brand oil company get the supply of oil from fastron's country of origin? Yes... Its the most genuine and the best! Never complaint.

The best oil lubricant in the world!!!! Let's try it broo ^_^

Great quality at a good price. Most stores use this brand for their "house brand name" motor oil.

Will not buy any CITGO product as long a Hugo Chavez is alive

A middle of the road oil brand at a good price.

Do your research, all oils are not the same.

All Oils "are" not the same.

All oil is the same.

Ultimate motor oil.World No.1

very fine oil .it keeps the sound smooth till drain.best oil i have ever used.3

Its used in my 2011 Sentra 2.0, which I'm averaging 31 mpg. In which EPA could only manage 27 mpg, driving for fun got me 28.5 mpg. Using Chevron gas and oil in this car has some extra change in my pocket. But its fuzzy logic to me.

Use the 5W-30, make my Civic sound like a truck.

One of the ecologically worst oil companies, 2nd only to Mobil. (if you care about that stuff) It's enough to keep me from using it.

Extending drains to save money. Liquid titanium provides the additional additive needed. Not to mention an increase in fuel economy.

Kendall with Liquid Titanium is the best so far.

Great protection with Liquid Titanium

Great New Technalogy with liquid titanium.... Makes engine's life longer can makes sure that your Car runs Smoooth...

it is a good oil...good performance...

the best

High quality, high detergent, engine oil.

good oil

A good motor oil brand/company.

Best oil for my car engine. Low noise, smooth RPM

Its 0W oil pour effortlessly at 0 degree F, better than many domestic synthetic

A conaco oil brand!

Russian oil is it? Luke oil?

It is working well with my 2 wheeler too!

Lukoil gave my SUV a smooth ride even through roughest tracks!

This oil takes care of your car like a baby. I think I feel safer ... when Lukoil is in our car.

Decent oil. Change it every 3k miles w/ filter. $10 for a complete home shop oil change. What more can you ask for? I would probably use a different oil for racing or continuous German Autobahn high speed cruising, but in the US with its ancient and slow speed limits this oil seems to do just fine.

cheap oil available at menards

Use it all the time!!! My car is flying with it!!! Love it love it love it!!!! The best!!

Fix your ethical issues first, then try to sell me oil, Marathon!

Been using it for years :) my truck has 350k and still running like a champ
