Engine oil Shell or OEM Volkswagen

Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.

I would order Shell Helix for £20/4L online instead.

I have used Shell Rotella T6 for 19 years on this engine with no issue.

Mannol 5W30 the one with JP at the end

Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 if you like to experiment, will make your bug quieter, but you will discover other noises (like tires, rattles of the trunk cover, gear noise, compressor of aircon).

Shell Rotella T6 5w40 and Tokyo Roki OEM filter all day everyday.

Both oils significantly reduced oil consumption

Mas smooth siya kesa sa shell long ride tapos fully synthetic at API SP na din.

Yung sa pcx160 ko, bago ako lumipat sa amsoil dati ginagamit ko yung shell advance fuel save 10w-30 fully synthetic. Goods sya smooth sya gamitin at maganda performance

Same tayo ng Unit OP (Aerox V2)

Natry ko na both yan and mas nagtagal ako sa shell longride. Sa opinion ko lang mas smooth sa Makina yung shell long ride yung ultra scooter smooth din naman pero nagstay ako sa longride kasi ayun ang recommended viscosity sa Manual ng Aerox V2 (10W-40).

Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.

I run the diesel Rotella T6 5w-40. My catalytic converter decided to start throwing P0420 codes around 58k miles and I spoke to a shop that I am going to have tune my car and one of the techs said that they reformulated T6 a few years ago and it has more zinc in it than it used to and that might have had an effect on my cat and it's early demise.
