Engine oil Shell or Motorex

Currently using it on the 16V. So far it has quieted down the top end valve chatter. Also it has stopped the Oil Evaporation issue I had.

I ran it as a year round oil in my s2000 and a winter oil in my evo. Great stuff. Cheap too.

It's a great oil, use it

I use Rotella T6 on my 2.0T. it's fine.

I use Rotella 15W40 in my BMW. It is good stuff.

Thanks for updating, it is nice to see a progression like that. A full history through 25k miles and things look pretty good on the Rotella T6.

Right now I run 15w-40 Shell Rotella Diesel engine oil in my bug. You can see below the Zinc & Phosphorus PPM (the higher the better). So you can see that Shell Rottela & Napa Diesel oil has fantastic for wear protection for the aircooled flat tappet cams.

I use Shell Helix 10W-30 for my Sciroccos. No probs! :thumbup: I always have a 60 litres barrel in my garage for my cars.

From what I've seen, the t6 holds up well, doesn't shear quickly, does well with fuel dilution, protects surfaces well, since the metal readings go down, etc. I don't see any negatives, regardless of what that article says

Rotella T6 is great oil (lots of STI guys run it) and I wouldn't hesitate running it in my R... except that it isn't VW 502 approved... so warranty is at risk if I had a failure in the engine.
