Engine oil Shell or AMSOIL

Shell Engine oil

I have maybe 60k miles on rotella t6 in various liquid cooled metric bikes. It meets the standards that yamaha requires and is way more available than yamalube.

Pros: meets yamaha standards
Mileage: 96560 km

Rating 5.0

I recently switched from Liqui Moly to Amsoil recently, my wife's Tiguan seems to run a little smoother and is noticeably quieter at idle with the 5-40 European car formula.

Pros: smoother run, quieter idle

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil is just an above average full synthetic oil. It's nothing magical. It has a higher than normal "Total Base Number", which is what allows it to go longer between changes without going acidic.

Pros: higher Total Base Number
Cons: nothing magical

I use rotella 5-40 in mine. It's really cheap for a full synthetic and I saw less oil consumption after switching. It's intended for diesel engines but I haven't seen any negative effects after using it for 60k miles. I usually change it around 4k miles.

Pros: less oil consumption
Cons: diesel engine intended
Mileage: 96560 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

I use Amsoil 0w40 or Eneos 0w50 in mine. For sealing and shear resistance for metal to metal contact, thicker is better.

Pros: sealing and shear resistance
