Engine oil Shell or RED LINE

Shell Engine oil

Rotella 5w-40, for no other reason than it is good oil that I can use in every internal combustion engine I own, including wet clutches.

Pros: good oil
Cons: too thin IMO

Shell Rotella T6. It's marketed as heavy diesel oil, but it meets the exact same specs as mobil 1 full synthetic and just has some extra detergent like diesel oils do.

This oil in OG 9-3 that have the crankcase retrofit kits clean the entire engine very well after a few oil changes getting rid of and preventing any sludge issues. The oil even eliminated some nasty tappet noise due to low oil pressure in my 2002 9-3 after a few seconds when I bought it.

Pros: cleans engine, eliminates tappet noise
Cons: marketed as heavy diesel oil
Vehicle: Saab

RED LINE Engine oil

I’ve used Motul, LiquiMoly, Molygen, and Redline 5w40. Oil analysis was best with the Redline, but it’s pricey…although worth the better numbers IMO.

Pros: better numbers
Cons: pricey
Mileage: 178260 km

RED LINE Engine oil

I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.

Pros: low oil consumption
Cons: burns oil otherwise
Vehicle: MINI Countryman
Mileage: 2000 km

Rotella T5, since the T6 is a bit too expensive for a car that leaks. Also a purolator pure one filter. I am up in Northwest NJ. I change it when the HLAs get noisy. It was 4500 miles for the last one.

Pros: none
Cons: HLAs get noisy
Mileage: 7242 km
