Liqui Moly 10W60

Castrol 5W40
Rotella T6 5W40
Mobil 1 0W40

They all work fine. 10W60 cold start cranking is slow at -10F. 0W40 consumption is high. Somewhere in between is probably a good compromise that would work fine for 95% of users.

Next will be a mix of M1 0W40 and 15W50 since I have a bunch of both.
I wonder where in Canada I can get Mobil 5W50 for a good price? It looks like a pretty good option.

Castrol 5W50 is cheap as dirt at Canadian Tire when on sale ($35 for 5L) but I do not think they carry the Mobil 5W50.

Cheers,
