Shell Rotella T6. It's marketed as heavy diesel oil, but it meets the exact same specs as mobil 1 full synthetic and just has some extra detergent like diesel oils do.

This oil in OG 9-3 that have the crankcase retrofit kits clean the entire engine very well after a few oil changes getting rid of and preventing any sludge issues. The oil even eliminated some nasty tappet noise due to low oil pressure in my 2002 9-3 after a few seconds when I bought it.

Pros: cleans engine, eliminates tappet noise
Cons: marketed as heavy diesel oil
Vehicle: Saab

Shell Engine oil

I just hit 19k miles on my 2017 390. I ride it like someone stole it. Also thousands of high revving miles on the highway.

I use nothing but Rotella T6 15w-40. It is really good oil and it is cheaper than almost anything else you can use.

Pros: really good oil, cheaper

I switched to Rotella T6 (5w-40 Full Synth) after running Penzoil, Chevron, Castrol, Mobil, regular non-high mileage 10w-30 dinos in that order over 4000 miles. Worst of this bunch was Mobil and Chevron, the HLA tick was unbearable, even right after the oil change.

Pros: engine cleaned up
Cons: HLA tick unbearable
Mileage: 4000 km
