Owner reviews for engine oil

Rotella T6 15W-40 in the perfectly sized 2.5 gallon jug. I’ve run this in both LML’s since day 1 and combined it’s over 500,000 miles.

I have 2015 sportwagon tdi and use shell rotella t6 5w 40 . I have 340000 miles on and runs fine.

I currently use Liqui Moly 5w-40 in my 02 WRX and it loves it.

i use castrol 5w-40 european vehicle. fully built and no issues at almost 30k

I run the 5w-40 amsoil diesel oil in mine. No issues whatsoever.

I’ve been running shell T6 in my STI forever with no issues.

My GT350 gets Amsoil. Had no issues with either one.

Been using Mannol 0w-20 fully synthetic for 3+ years now for my Jazz, engine is smooth, almost all the time I felt the car would always glide and it cruises easily, fuel consumption is great as well as long you are light footed. Mileage is now at 300000km (oil did not reduce at all within that 10000km service interval)

I , personally, like Valvoline products. I've opened up engines just to see sludge built up from not changing your oil or using cheap oil and not changing it enough. I have found that engines that used Valvoline oil were much cleaner on the inside. After many miles. Compared to other brands.

Ughh. How did I miss that! I thought I was just saving $5 a liter for the same thing. I am so annoyed with myself. :banghead: I just pulled up the specs for both and indeed the Synthoil has a viscosity index of 171 vs 180 for the Leichtlauf. Also the NOACK for Synthoil is 12.9% vs 10.0% for Leichtlauf. From what I can tell the 12.9% NOACK of Synthoil is what doesn't allow it to have the VW 502 00 approval.
