Engine oil Shell or OEM Volkswagen

I have a 2001 Forester L and I enjoy using Castrol Edge 5-30 during winter and Rotella T6 5-40 during the summer in Arizona.

I’m on rotella t6 on my ‘05 Impreza at 217k miles. Just had all the seals replaced. It has been on rotella since 132k miles. Runs really good.

I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.

I live in a dusty climate I change my oil at least annually and I use Mobil one in my Volvo, Kirkland synthetic in the kids cars, and rotella in my air cooled vw.

I use Rotella T6 5W40 on my stock motor STI.

now im using shell long ride currently at 1500km and i havent feel any vibration yet and its cheaper than amsoil.

Rotella T6 15W-40 in the perfectly sized 2.5 gallon jug. I’ve run this in both LML’s since day 1 and combined it’s over 500,000 miles.

I have 2015 sportwagon tdi and use shell rotella t6 5w 40 . I have 340000 miles on and runs fine.

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.

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.
