Engine oil Shell or MOTUL

MOTUL Engine oil

I use it in my '14 1200 GS and it's the best oil for the job, tried Castrol and it's not even close. With Motul she runs much smoother and the gearshifts are much better than on Castrol, or OEM BMW oil for that matter

Pros: runs much smoother, better gearshifts
Cons: Castrol not even close

MOTUL Engine oil

I run 300v Motul. Much better than Motorex cross power in my bike. Also tried Motul 7100 but that was no better than the Motorex. Have to change oil at 5000km with 300v, but I do that anyway or earlier.

Pros: much better
Cons: have to change oil
Mileage: 5000 km

Motul 8100xclean 5w40 during the summer since I'm in az and every day is 100+, the 5w30 loses its viscosity too fast in the summer

Pros: maintains viscosity in heat
Vehicle: Subaru

Pros: stopped oil consumption
Vehicle: Subaru

Shell Engine oil

Everyone has their preferences, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter, just change it regularly. I've used Mobil1, Pennzoil, LiquiMoly, Royal Purple, Rotella and probably a couple others I'm forgetting. No noticeable difference between any of them.

Pros: no noticeable difference
Vehicle: BMW

I did use the Shell T6 Rotella 5W40 for 4 OCI's and then got a misfire issue. When my mechanic was going thru the possible symptoms he asked what oil i used. When i told him it's a full synthetic deisel truck oil he shook his head and said that not a good idea. Too thick, and that could have an impact.

Cons: caused misfire issue, too thick for engine
Part number: T6 ROTELLA 5W40
