Looking for an oil recommendation. I've got three cars in the garage, all requiring 0w20. I'd like to use the same oil in all three cars for ease of filling the crankcase and topping up:
1. 2024 Grand Cherokee, Pentastar V6. (Under warranty, 5000 miles)
2. 2023 Subaru BRZ. (Under warranty, 7500 miles)
3. 2019 Nissan Murano. (70000 miles)
The Jeep and Murano will get oil changes every 5k miles which is something like once every six months. The BRZ OCI is 6 months/6000 miles, and for the sake of the warranty I'll go ahead and change it every 6 months even though it really feels like a waste. In 6 months, I probably put 2500 miles on the car - it sits a lot; no track driving. Location: Houston.
Criteria for oil - anything available at Walmart is fair game. I feel the price differences between the oils that they carry is negligible, so we can exclude price.
Is there a better choice than M1 0w20 EP ? It does state that it meets MS-6395 (in case of a warranty related brawl with the dealership), but most of the oils that they carry do. I notice that the BRZ engine is noisy - I understand typical for Subaru - and have read anecdotally that drivetrain noise is sometimes noticed more with M1 but I don't know if there is anything to that.
What would you use?
P.S. Kudos to Chrysler for setting an oil capacity at an even 5.0 qt...
