Shell Engine oil

Rating 5.0

using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.

Pros: keep oil burning down
Vehicle: Subaru

PETRONAS Engine oil

My choice, based on the detailed research, is Petronas Syntium 7000dm 0w30. It has all the main characteristics that D3 engine requieres to run smooth and last long.

Pros: runs smooth, lasts long
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.

Pros: healthy engine, no issues
Mileage: 370000 km
