Eneos. My co-worker got me to check this oil out. And I have used it on my wife's CRV and at 4k it seems to be much lighter in color than the Mobil 1 full syn on my Mazda 5 with 3.5k. Both car's oil change were done at the same time as the 2014 CRV has an on-board oil interval schedule so I just do them at the same time. I am still skeptical on this oil but I did load it on my 94 Miata so we shall see.
But honestly how can one tell without some lab test? And I am not crazy to send an oil sample to a lab to prove how good this oil is lol.
One thing nice about this oil is that I just order them from Amazon and they get delivered at my door.

Castrol, because Gran Turismo.
I only drive a couple of thousand K's a year so it hardly discolours before I change it.

I used to use Mobil 1 also, until I recently switched to Pennzoil Ultra synthetic. I've been really impressed with the Pennzoil. My Miata currently has 218k on it, I bought it with 173k and it's always had pronounced lifter tick by the time I am due for an oil change. Using the Pennzoil I'll only ocasionally get hot restart lifter tick, and it's quiet up to the service interval. I was impressed by the difference.

Whichever synthetic oil is on sale. Synthetic because I'm lazier as I get older, so the change interval has been extended from the norm of every 3 months to every 4 months-ish.

I run 5w40 in the Miata (Rotella T6) and e30, found it helpful for cleaning some of the engine in the e30. In the summer, I run 20w50 in the e30, which is track season. It's an old engine, likes it a lot.

The Shell synthetic for diesel cars. Have been using it since 2010. I also used it on my 2002 Tacoma truck.
