Shell Engine oil

Rating 4.5

I use Rotella T4 on my 2.5L and have been for years because high ZDDP helps with the valve tapping I have going on. It has actually gotten quieter over time and feel the engine is running smoother than ever.

Pros: quieter engine, smoother running
Vehicle: Jeep Wrangler

Shell Engine oil

I’m using the 0w16 from Renault that probably is a Shell RN17, I have about 25.000km now and I will do the third change on the beginning of next year… but in the sandero that I also own I changed to 5w30 (from 0w20) both RN17 and the engine feels way softer and silent…

Pros: engine feels softer, engine feels silent
Vehicle: Renault Duster
Mileage: 25000 km

All three I ran Rotella T6 5w-40. I ran 5K oil changes with OEM or WIX filters. All had Blackstone oil analysis done, and all passed every time with flying colors.

Pros: passed every time
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 8046 km

OEM Honda Engine oil

I ran 10W-50 and 10W-60 for a few years in an old and beaten up Honda in the hope of reduce oil consumption to avoid having to open the engine. Long story short: it's not harmful, it's an expensive gimmick, the only real-life effect is fuel consumption will slightly worsen and that Honda had occasional issues with VTEC (a well known issue in those engines when running high viscosity oils).

Pros: not harmful
Cons: expensive gimmick, worsen fuel consumption
Vehicle: Honda

We had a guy trade in a 10th gen Honda Civic with the L15BE (known for head gasket failure mostly) that he filled with thicker oil. Started knocking like crazy when we changed the oil for the sale.

Cons: knocking like crazy
Vehicle: Honda Civic
