Engine oil Shell or Mannol

Any oil that meets the manufacturer's specification for your car will be fine. Mannoil 5W30 fully synthetic meets VW 502.00 and ebay sell 5L for about £17 - why pay more?

Definitely better well known brands out there for cheaper prices. Look at Mannol oil. Mannol served me well.

I use Mannol. 5l of the stuff in 5w-35 retails at about £20 on eBay which is a damn good price.

I've always had good luck with manol oils.

I run Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 diesel engine oil in my Versys. It has all the ratings necessary for a motorcycle engine and a wet clutch, and it is a quarter of the cost of bike oils.

Rotella T5, up to 14k in between changes per oil analysis. Great oil, never had any issues.

I've used Rotella T4 15w-40 in my 2008 6.7 Cummins year round in Canada. The ol girl has 700,000km (420,000 freedom units) and she runs like a top.

Oi analysis came back and no extra signs of wear... Mannol is great oil just change at 5k and add in oil additive such as ceratec every other change

I run Shell Rotella T6 5/40 I live in Florida. Slightly high copper on the STI. The Tribeca is fine and purrs like a kitten.

I switched to Rotella T6 (5w-40 Full Synth) after running Penzoil, Chevron, Castrol, Mobil, regular non-high mileage 10w-30 dinos in that order over 4000 miles. Worst of this bunch was Mobil and Chevron, the HLA tick was unbearable, even right after the oil change.
