Air cooled motors; one change per year, honey colored at change. For 1: 5 yr 15 hp riding mower, mowed 2 acres, twice a week. Ck this year; hone marks still on cyl wall....peeked thru sparkplug hole.

Engines;
1. Never have "dry bearing rumble" at first startup after oil change anymore. (Fill filter always prior to installation).

2. Doubled engine oil change interval on OTR vehicles.

3. Diesel piston skirt slap at cold start in winter disappeared.

Dodge truck tranny.
Thought I was going to be victimized by the so called bad Dodge auto. Was doing a couple of things I didn't like; stayed in gear too long (no modulator valve), wouldn't shift into 4th when first getting on highway in winter. Put in Mobil 1 ATF and tweaked the bands. Really nice, smooth, and shift point is where it belongs; 35 into OD on a smooth road with light pedal.

Diff too, but don't know how to gauge.

For cost of the stuff, wally world has dropped Mobil 1 15w-50 to $4.04/qt and it has been cert for CH service. The Dodge tranny alone would have cost $1750. How much oil can you buy with that?
