Discount Accel 62695 SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle
I used this from my Honda Insight 2011, along with Honda OEM filter and the car went on for 12000 miles without needing an oil change!Good for new/low mile cars, not as great as compare to other brand like Mobil 1, but good enough for 5000 miles interval changing, and cheap, not junk stubs for sure.

Cheap Mobil 1 44986 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1
Mobil 1 is one of those cases where you get what you pay for:
Sure, it's considerably more expensive per quart than regular oil. But you can run it many more months / hours than the ''old fashioned'' brands. And for those of us in colder climates, the difference in starting performance when it's really cold is amazing: Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil (all varieties) thickens a LOT less as the temperature drops. I can still start my vehicle even when it is well below zero degrees F. without plugging in the soft-plug heater; and even my big diesel tractor will start without heating well below freezing (for those of you from southern states: You have NO IDEA how cold 35-40 degrees BELOW zero F. feels; and how regular oil pretty much turns to a near-solid when it gets that cold).

It is hard to find good diesel oil for a VW tdi, this is the perfect stuff, protects the engine and the turbo. I had my turbo burn out when using the oil that oil change places carry in stock, definitely worth getting the right oil.Best Deals for Mobil 1 44986 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1
The product is top notch, but the only reason I ordered thru Amazon, is because I had thought that Wal Mart no longer carried the item. Just recently I discovered that it is back on the shelves at Wal Mart, and the price is still lower than what I paid thru Amazon.Honest reviews on Mobil 1 44986 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1

I have used this oil for 30,000 miles now since changing from the VW spec 505.01 oil at 60K when my warranty expired. Used Oil Analysis has been incredible! No camshaft wear, no metals to speak of; there cannot be a better oil for the VW TDI engine with 10,000 mile change intervals.

Reviews of Castrol 5W30 Edge w/Syntec Synthetic Motor Oil
I have used Castrol oil exclusively in my vehicles (97 Dodge Dakota, 2008 Toyota Prius, 2011 Toyota 4Runner) since the purchase of my Dakota in 1997. I switched over to the Synthetic Oil in 2008 with 10,000 mile interval oil changes per vehicle since the switch. I would not consider another oil, my Dakota has 289,000 miles and I never have to add oil between changes, Nuff' said.
I had the same issue with the Silverado but to a much lesser extent, I was adding constantly and when I changed the oil there were metal chips on the drain plug. I was running both vehicles at a 2,500 mile oil change interval and still getting terrible results. The Trailblazer fouled out a brand new set of Bosch +4's.
I started asking around at work, (I work at an auto parts store) and two other people there had tried it in their cars (Crown Victoria 4.6 and Ford Fusion 3.0) and both had the same issue. The worst part is the oil burning doesn't immediately stop after you stop using it, it takes THREE oil changes for the oil consumption to completely stop!
I've been trying to pin down why my friend's 09 Honda Accord is burning oil profusely and in generally terrible engine condition, now I think I have the answer because he's using this oil.
This just baffles me because of all the people who are just going to pour this stuff in, close the hood and not check again until it's time to drain out, well, that will be easy because they'll have an empty crankcase.

I have used this oil in a Chevrolet Trailblazer 4.2 (80,000 mi) and a Silverado 5.3 (40,000 mi) and in both cases, both motors burn massive amounts of this oil! After 1,200 miles my mom asked me to look at her Trailblazer because it was knocking, I pull out the dipstick and nothing! The motor was 5 quarts low out of a 7 quart oil pan!I had the same issue with the Silverado but to a much lesser extent, I was adding constantly and when I changed the oil there were metal chips on the drain plug.

The first time I ordered a case of oil from them I was amazed at how quickly it got here. It was in excellent condition with no problems. So, I ordered another case. Instead of getting the motor oil, I received a 40" Round Glass Patio Table! What a mix up! They are worlds apart. I am overseas and have no way to ship this table back and I don't have my motor oil. Feel sorry for the person with 4 chairs and no table! This is why they get 3 stars from me. Seriously, a table instead of motor oil????? Funny thing is the packing slip says motor oil...Monday, January 13, 2014

CRC SL2552 Hydraulic & Jack Oil, 32 Fl Oz
Great product and very handy to have around. Changing the pump oil in your jack is something most folk's never even think about but.. My tools last for years
and get heavy use. I am very happy with the quality of this oil.
Buy with confidence.
RagenRatNot a whole lot you can say about this, it came nicely packaged and worked as expected. Nothing went berserk.
