Which 10w30 - M1 HM or PP?

[Toy4x4]

1. Since my normal oil has been discontinued, which of these two would you choose and why?

2. Previous oil was M1 TSUV and was a bit thicker than regular M1 5w30 and 10w30 (from what I remember) and the truck like it. Less noise. Which of the two in the title is thicker?

Thanks!

M1 HM is much thicker then PP.

M1 HM! its a clean oil and you get all the benefits of a HM oil(like maybe its a bit thicker)

it seems like pennzoil changed their formula on the high mileage i may be wrong but if seems a little lighter and smells very different

PP

Mobil 1 HM 5w-30 is a excellent oil.

My 530i BMW loved the M1 HM 10w30. Great oil IMO!

I would go with the M1 and not the HM unless you have leakage or burning issues. Ops, I re-read and see your chosen options are HM or PP. I'd go with PP myself.

Both great oils. I went with PP because it is on a 2 for sale at Oriely.

One quick additional question on this subject.

How long can you safely go on OCI with the M1 HM? I put this in the Wife's 02 Forester with a Pureone filter. No leaks or oil burn on the 2.5 boxer with about 110k on the clock. Engine has been maintained, no sludge.

Thanks.

I also used the M1 T&SUV, and went with M1 HM now. My Outback seems to like it, the engine is quieter than any other oil I've tried.

I tried PP in the past, and oil consumption increased dramatically so I went back to M1. Two different vehicles, two OCIs on each, both needed more than 1 quart top up over the OCI on PP, but use only about 1/2 quart per OCI on M1.

Tremo M1 HM could easily do 7500 miles on your Subaru ,M1 HM is a very stout oil that is ACEA A1 rated so it is capable of extended drains if your wish. I would suggest getting the oil analyzed if stretching the oil past 7500 though.
