Engine oil Shell or OEM Toyota

OEM Toyota Engine oil

I change mine every 5k irregardless of whatever Toyota says. Oil changes are cheap insurance to your engine if you intend to keep it for the long term.

Pros: cheap insurance, long term
Vehicle: Toyota Highlander

Shell Engine oil

Can’t go wrong with Rotella T6. It’s marketed as a diesel engine oil, but gas engines love the stuff too. It’s just not great for catalytic converters, because it contains a high amount of anti-wear and anti-friction additives.

Pros: gas engines love it
Cons: bad for catalytic converters
Vehicle: BMW

OEM Toyota Engine oil

Toyota OEM oil has 10x the amount of thr dry lubrication additive molybdenum in its additive package. The dealerships use bulk Mobil 1 oil when they do your oil change. This is why everyone should change their own oil.

Pros: dry lubrication additive

Shell Engine oil

I’ve been using T6 for 8 years now and it still lubricates the car. The car burns oil though so it’s always getting fresh stuff.

Pros: still lubricates the car
Cons: car burns oil
Vehicle: Subaru

Shell Engine oil

When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.

Cons: false-neutrals
Mileage: 300 km
