Which engine oil is safe to use if my choices are limited?

There's a lot of different opinions out there and it makes me wonder if I could find a better solution for my oil changes.

I own a 2016 and I usually stick to Liquimoly 6600 but it is rather difficult to find and isn't cheap to get my hands on where I'm located.

I heard good things about Castrol and I could get those for cheap at Costco. Would you guys feel comfortable using it?

Other than the 0W20, what else should I be keeping an eye on when chosing oil?

Run a good brand name oil, and your car will be fine. If your really concerned pick an oil, and do an oil analysis.

There was a really great discussion about oil happening in another thread.. if you're serious about wanting to understand what goes into choosing an oil (complete with recommendations) take the time to read through this...

I learned more about oil than I ever thought possible! 😁
