Why do people experiment with different brands, viscousities, flipping from mineral to synthetic and vise versa, etc.
Why not stick with your manufacturer's recommendation and stick with one oil. Going with different kinds of oil have more of the bad thing in the long term than good.

My manuf recommended oil is Mobil 1 synthetics 0w40. And i would stick to it just because thats what they recommend. For sure, those engineers who designed and built my car have put more mileage and know more about my engine than i do.

If you bought it new, then i would say, just stick with the brand your dealer used and change your oil regularly.
If you bought it used and dont know which brand was used, then, i would find a forum for my car and ask people what oil brand the manufacturer use and stick with it. And change your oil around 3T miles (your mileage will vary of course depending on how you drive, your load, if you drive in a dusty environment, etc).
There is nothing more dangerous than putting a synthetic now, then go back to mineral then synthetic again with a different brand and weight, etc. I would rather stick with mineral oil and change it 3T miles, rather than going back and forth with mineral and synthetic (well, they are 3-5 times more expensive so there are days when our pockets cant reach 'em).
Unless, your engine suffers from oil sludge - then, i would highly recommend you to go with synthetic (of course, you have to do proper transition) with less weight.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
