Engine oil Shell or AMSOIL

I take my own oil to my mechanics shop. I use Amsoil Signature in my Challenger.

I use it on my 22 street Bob. My mechanic swears amsoil will make it run cooler but idk. I’m going to try the amsoil when my 10k comes up soon. I’ll always run synthetic either way.

I have personal experience with using amsoil in a Cadillac Northstar which are notorious for burning. It did stop that in that car

1.3 million on Amsoil. Shell is a close second.

Amsoil is worth it and head and shoulders above the competition. I used a custom built testing apparatus to characterize dozens of lubricants including oils of all weights from Mobil 1, Castrol, penzoil, valvoline, and Amsoil.

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.

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.

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...

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.
