I don't think it does matter if a country is leading in flowing oil. Engine Oil quality depends on other things.

for me I used the Toyota genuine motor oil and changed every 2500km as the oil is cheap. I am not that fan of synthetic due to coating effect.
Trust me, changing oil in shorter intervals will have engine longebility and far more better than using long interval synthetics. I live in Saudi Arabia on extreme HOT and sandstorm weather conditions....HiH |

Mobil1 is probably a similar formulation world wide, here in Canada i use Mobil1 5w-20 in the winter and 10w-30 in the summer, changing at 10,000kms intervals,

Use Mobil 1. I used Valvoline this past oil change and I'm at 6600 KM and it's already dark brown. I got to 10k last time with mobil 1 with a few thousand kms to go still.

"Multigrade oil" refers to an oil which can simultaneously meet certain low temp and high temp viscosity requirements. It does not necessarily mean an oil is synthetic but 0W grades are usually syn blends at a minimum. It does tend to be easier for syns to meet multigrade standards with less use (or non use) of additives such as pour point depressants and viscosity index improvers.
Here is an Amsoil document that explains this concept. http://www.workablewebtools.com/site...multigrade.pdf |
