Engine oil Shell or OEM Honda

Shell Engine oil

I always used Rotella 5w30 gas truck oil designed for “All Mileage” in my 2005 Nissan Frontier with 95k but it’s been discontinued. I really liked this oil as it seemed to be thicker and remained viscous for longer compared to others. My favorite part about it? NO LEAKS!

Pros: no leaks, viscous for longer
Cons: discontinued
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 95000 km

OEM Honda Engine oil

I would do 10k intervals in my Honda Fit but a majority of my driving in that car was highway. I'd also need to add a quart after 7000 miles because of consumption.

Pros: long highway intervals
Cons: oil consumption
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 7000 km

Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 in my 09 e90 335d (m57)

Supposedly should be changed every 13k miles but I do 7500 to hopefully help extend the life of the timing chain.

Pros: extended timing chain life
Vehicle: BMW

OEM Honda Engine oil

I got my 93 Accord up to 333,000 miles changing oil at 7500 miles, using the cheap synthetic blend Walmart crap, and engine failure isn't what killed the car. When I pulled the head at 250,000 miles to do a head gasket, the cylinders still had the cross hatching from the factory hone so I'm gonna say 7500 miles was plenty often enough. Changing oil more often than required is nothing but wasting money and buys you nothing in terms of reliability or longevity.

Pros: 333k miles, no engine failure
Cons: wasting money
Mileage: 7500 km
