So the oil doesn't have to have extreme temperature or pressure capabilities. As a result the quality of the oil therefore doesn't need to be of premium quality. So use of synthetic or semi-synthetic oils is not necessary and a bit of a waste of money.

If you use your car as an everyday car and plan to keep it with the same engine for a long time, than regular oil replacement will have a better effect on your engine than using the more expensive oils.

A somewhat thicker standard oil doesn't hurt so 15W40 is a good option for use in temperate climates like Holland and the UK. If you already have somewhat worn bearings indicated by low oil pressure you better use a thicker 20W50 oil. Make sure though that you use an engine oil with good detergent qualities, particularly for the V-8's as they tend to be very sensitive to oil sludge. Oil as used in turbo-diesel engines has very good detergent qualities so preferably use that.

With synthetic oils like Mobil 1 problems can come up like: Heavy oil consumption, this is caused because the synthetic oil is very thin and leaks past the valve seals and piston rings. Bearing wear, the crankshaft bearings are designed for thicker oil and with the thin synthetics they don't get proper lubrication. This will reduce oil consumption and premature wear of the bearings. If you want the oil a bit thinner Mobil 1 and 4T can be mixed. But down here in the sunny south I can run it all the year round.
