I agree. I have been using Mobil 1 0-40 fully synthetic in my 2013 VW GTI as soon as the dealer stopped providing no-charge oil changes at 36,000 miles. I now have 150,200 miles on the car. Because I commute a lot, I change my oil between 8-10K miles. The reason I trust the product is that several years ago I tried an off-brand fully synthetic oil (factory weight spec of 5-30) and the engine had burned a full quart by 6000 miles. I know my engine and this wasn't normal at all. Switching back to Mobile 1 resolved that issue. To this day, I can go 10,000 miles on an oil change and burn just over a quart in that time.

I'm sure there are better oils than the Mobil 1 I'm running, but I can get the 5 quarts I need for under $30 and the better oils would cost me more. I'm pretty impressed by it and have no plans on changing.
