Shell Engine oil

Rotella is the best you don’t even need the synthetic. I run it in my 6 bolt 4G63 with 222,000 miles on it pushing 400 wheel horsepower and I’ve been a truck driver for 29 years it’s the industry standard????????

Pros: best, industry standard
Mileage: 222000 km

Rotella T6 ftw! I swapped my F800GS' oil to this and HifloFiltro filters years ago and have had zero issues. ~$30 for a full change compaired to BMW's asking price of $23/quart (straight highway robbery) and $20/filter so it was a no brainer saving almost $60/change

Pros: zero issues, saving money
Vehicle: BMW

Brings me back to my WRX days, we all used to run Rotella T6 because it burned less oil thru our gigantic subaru ring gaps.

Pros: burned less oil
Vehicle: Subaru

I always used Rotella 5w30 gas truck oil designed for “All Mileage” in my 2005 Nissan Frontier with 95k but it’s been discontinued. I really liked this oil as it seemed to be thicker and remained viscous for longer compared to others. My favorite part about it? NO LEAKS!

Pros: no leaks, viscous for longer
Cons: discontinued
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 95000 km

Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 in my 09 e90 335d (m57)

Supposedly should be changed every 13k miles but I do 7500 to hopefully help extend the life of the timing chain.

Pros: extended timing chain life
Vehicle: BMW

I’ve a 01 330ci with 284kms on it and I’ve been running Rotella 5w-40 T6 for a few years and it’s been really good. Keeps it good and clean for 10k change intervals. I probably end up adding 2-3L over that time, which was a vast improvement from when I got the car 30k ago.

Pros: really good, keeps clean
Cons: adding 2-3L
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 284 km

I switched from Castrol Edge 0W-40 to Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 on my E46 325Ci and feel it runs a touch better and doesn't burn as much oil. Before I was adding 1L per \~3000km, now maybe 1L per 5-6000km...

Pros: runs a touch better
Cons: burns less oil
Vehicle: BMW

First impressions - engine is noticeably quieter and smoother at idle. Engine temps is lower by 1 line. slightly better throttle response. As for fuel consumption, i have to drive more my usual route to know if there is an improvement.

Pros: quieter and smoother
Cons: fuel consumption unknown
Vehicle: Toyota
