Hi everyone, first post, i’ll introduce myself a bit and make a little more of a post besides just the (whats the best oil) normal questions that come up.
I’ve worked on, built engines, and motorcycles and atv’s. I consider myself fairly well learned when it comes to engines, what makes them work, and at a basic level, lubricants.
I’ve had extremely good luck for years with Motul lubricants. I’ve seen first hand what those oils are able to do, and motors that Motul could keep together that no other oil could do. I used to work on Cannondale atv’s and the shop I worked at used Moutl 5100 and also Motul 300v. They were notorious for camshaft lobe wiping/failure and we never had a lobe/bucket failure with Motul that i’m aware of.
With all of that being said, I usually gravitate to Motul for most things, but I feel like i’m in over my head on figuring out what’s ok and what’s not ok additive pack wise, or maybe what’s optimum to use in these new DI/turbo engines. I’ve also been on the Amsoil train, and these days i’m not so sure i’m really getting my value for $ spent, or if it’s even the best all around lubricant for a passenger vehicle.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of youtube watching on different oils, reading here on the forums, etc.There’s so much information, either from oil testing, personal experience, etc and so many things to consider that it’s hard to sort through it all. There’s fuel dilution, high temps, low speed pre-ignition with these small turbo engines making lots of torque at low rpm, everything.
I see a lot of folks talking about Penzoil UP, Mobil 1, HPL and others as good go-to oils for a lot of motors, including 2.7 ecoboost. My question is, what are some premium options? $ aside, what would be the best long term protection for the engine in my Bronco I just bought?
2021, 52k miles. Been well serviced based on carfax maintenance records. Approx 5k oil changes, first change was done at 2k miles. My use case is a mix. I sometimes drive 4 mile trips into town, sometimes 40 mile trips, Sometimes 2000 mile trips out west from Ohio. I’ll be towing, off road, everything. I’ve read some forum posts on bronco6g of guys seeing 265f oil temps towing in the mountains. Those temp’s don’t really scare me, I just wanna make sure i’ve got the best protection I can, regardless of the $ (within reason).
What are premium options for a street car (not racing oils) that will just give good all around oil life and wear prevention?
