It doesn't really matter, the different additives make negligible difference, all marketing. I use Mobile 1 and just go with whatever available at walmart, costs less, or on sale. I've used all 3 on my car.

Doesn't really matter what brand you use as long as it's the correct weight and full synthetic.

Often different additives are incompatable & counteract each other.
Search & read to choose oil & always use the same oil.

Thank you all for your comments. I will probably just roll with the advanced fuel economy. I don’t do anything crazy with my car, just commute. Makes much more sense than forking out $100 at the dealer.

None. Pennzoil Platinum.

FYI: Mobile 1 is Not actually a Full Synthetic.

Yeah... It say's full synthetic and many reputable brands recommend Mobil 1. I do appreciate everyone's opinion on here though.

I use the Advanced Fuel Economy version, for no other reason than it's what arrives from Wal Mart. For the price I dont see a reason to use anything else, I have had many high output engines run close to 200k miles on Mobil 1.

I run Pennz Platinum in both my cars. Lots of videos out there on comparison.

I use the AMS OIL signature series 0W-20, its little more pricy but its actually really good if not the best on the market.

It was the winner of 2019 best oil test champion on You tube by project farm. It beats out Pennzoil Ultra platinum on the final round
