Engine oil Shell or OEM Volkswagen

Shell Engine oil

I have used it for years in motorcycles. I have tried other super expensive oils and some of them shift a little nicer for longer, like Liquid Moly. But, T6 is a very high quality oil and I still use it and change it when shifting feels clunkier or 5k miles whichever comes first.

Pros: very high quality oil
Cons: shifting feels clunkier
Mileage: 5000 km

Rotella is the best you don’t even need the synthetic. I run it in my 6 bolt 4G63 with 222,000 miles on it pushing 400 wheel horsepower and I’ve been a truck driver for 29 years it’s the industry standard????????

Pros: best, industry standard
Mileage: 222000 km

Rotella T6 ftw! I swapped my F800GS' oil to this and HifloFiltro filters years ago and have had zero issues. ~$30 for a full change compaired to BMW's asking price of $23/quart (straight highway robbery) and $20/filter so it was a no brainer saving almost $60/change

Pros: zero issues, saving money
Vehicle: BMW

Brings me back to my WRX days, we all used to run Rotella T6 because it burned less oil thru our gigantic subaru ring gaps.

Pros: burned less oil
Vehicle: Subaru

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

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

Nothing wrong with LiquiMoly, but I personally find Shell Rotella T6 to be better. It is quite a bit cheaper as well.

Pros: nothing wrong
Cons: Shell Rotella better
Vehicle: Volkswagen
