Engine oil Shell or MOTUL

MOTUL Engine oil

The one that seems to have made the greatest difference (non-tracking) is the one referenced below in either 5w50, 5w40, or the two of them mixed together. Per the relevant gauges, the 996 runs a bit cooler and the viscosity (via oil pressure readings across running temperatures and times) stays higher.

Pros: runs cooler, viscosity higher
Cons: very expensive
Vehicle: Porsche

MOTUL Engine oil

OEM oil is made by cheapest bidder who was able to fill the minimum requirements by the already cheapskate GM.

my 2 cents - use MOTUL DEXOS 2 SPECIFIC. Or some other premium oil. Oil is the most important fluid your car has. Cheaping out on it just stupid.

Pros: premium oil, most important fluid
Cons: cheaping out is stupid

  • Engine noise:
Rating 4.0

Mannol 5W30 the one with JP at the end

Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 if you like to experiment, will make your bug quieter, but you will discover other noises (like tires, rattles of the trunk cover, gear noise, compressor of aircon).

Pros: bug quieter
Cons: discover other noises

MOTUL Engine oil

I've recently switched to Motul because the Castrol pouring spouts seem to have gone away and Motul's also become more available.

Pros: more available
Cons: Castrol spouts gone

  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 1.0

I used the Motul 10w50 fully synthetic. After running it for a few months I happened to check oil level and I was shocked to find out that 500ml had disappeared. This never happened on the stock Royal Enfield oil, nor with the Motul 5100, so I was not used to keep checking oil level religiously. But now I do.

Then I checked YouTube reviews to see if others report oil evaporation or burning off. And yes lot of youtubers report it, but still recommended it!

How can you recommend an engine oil that evaporates or burns off, even if it gives slightly better performance? It's ridiculous.

Pros: slightly better performance
Cons: oil evaporation or burning
