Interesting topic ...
join to dropped a little of my comment.
for my current car .. tried to following..
1. From 2nd Servicing to 70K - Mobil 1 0W-40 Gold Bottle (initially 75 per 4 litre until raise to 80+ per 4 litre - petrol kiosk cost 114 now)
Note ... for two of the servicing .. I do not need to buy EO as cumulative using same brand.. I got 1 extra 3.3 to 3.4 litre of EO for 1 servicing. So .. that save me around $150 to 160 in EO for total 2 servicing.
2. From 80K servicing onwards - Amsoil 0W-30.
Experience ... Mobil 1 is smooth .. even till near servicing date .. engine never get too noisy unless wear and tear of timing chain and etc. Very good experience with Mobil 1 minus thicker oil. Note that I have tendency of heavy foot and my mileage tot not the highest in here but typical can still clock 10K in 5 mths time. 60% HW and 40% Urban
Reason for change ... Car old liao .. no need to buy premium... so .. decided to reduce cost and tried Amsoil instead 0W-30 which cost me $60 for 4 quart. (That is around more nearly 20 bucks saving per servicing)
feedback for Amsoil.. pretty good too (Since it is fully sync esther based EO). since it is thinner oil (lower visocity) the pickup is slightly zippier than previous oil. So ... until I fully consume all the left over ... (I still have 1 quart left as previous servicing using 3 bottle + around 1/3 quart of leftover)
I will then decided to see if can try other brand.
:)
Note. ... if really wanna to save $$$ .. stick to same brand until you fully consume it.
As for own oil change .. yup .. it is environmental not friendly to DIY as discharging is a problem unless you keep and deposit it in the workshop for recycling. I use to do that when I riding a bike.. but only does it for 2 times ... feel it is time consuming .. and decided that such $$$ to earn by others while keeping my time free for other and hands also cleaner.
:)
