Preferred 0w-20 motor oil?
 
Good afternoon,
I have been using Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0W-20 oil and Mobil 1 M1-110 Extended Performance Oil Filter since I have own my car. I am almost due for another oil change and am looking into trying other brands if they are any better. I am currently looking at Quaker State 550038081 Ultimate Durability 0W-20 Motor Oil. I saw a review on Amazon that said it had a high Moly content. I wanted to find out what brands/oils other are using and if they have any prefers/suggestions.

Also looking at Pennzoil 550038111 Platinum SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil.

You will never find objective evidence that one oil is truly better than another. Higher Moly isn't always better, except in motorcycles.

Amazon reviews can be done by people paid to leave favorable reviews. I wouldn't put ANY weight on the validity of a claim made in an Amazon review, or any other for that matter, unless it was backed up with objective data. Actually, I just read that review. It meets zero criteria for credibility. Furthermore, moly has been systematically reduced with every iteration of the API "S" standard.

I buy the cheapest filters available and Mobile 1 0W-20.

Try your proven Mobil 1 0w/20 and ep version and you will not go wrong.

Definately cant go wrong with amsoil, or redline oil.

I've always used Mobil 1 in any vehicle and find it best
