I'm using Mobil 1 ESP 0W30 in my 2016 Rubicon.
I've had great success with a 50:50 mixture of Dawn and Head Shoulders.
Ordered on amazon and going to try castrol gtx hm 10w 40 in the equinox 2.3l probobly the first time ill ever do such a thing.
Since I've used LE (Lubrication Engineers Inc) the last 15-20 years, there hasn't been any need to use anything else, either on daily beater or on the track. Every time I try something else, it is soon to be changed over to LE again. The prices in EU is high compared to US, you guys over there really should try it out with those prices you are getting.

Remember... That Listerine could be a bit too stout... Dilute with 1/2 water to keep from being too strong as full strength could eat away at the gaskets

I'm in the same boat.
