This is a 2009 GTI, just over 27k miles on the car, and 10,000 miles on Rotella T6. Car is tuned APR stage 1 93 octane, and has a Carbonio intake. I had some concern that maybe I didn't oil the air filter enough, and it looks like that is verified with the high silicon.

Pros: good oil, easy to find

Cons: high silicon

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 10000 km

Just changed my oil @ 2k with Rotella T6. Sounds much quitters and feels a lot smoother. I've always used this and it's a damn good oil.

Pros: Sounds much quitters, feels smoother

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 2000 km

I have noticed my car is "running better" with the Rotella, and i have not had to top it off at all compared to running Motul 5w40 i had to add quite a bit over my OCI.

Pros: running better

Cons: had to add quite a bit

Vehicle: Audi A4
