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

Total Engine oil

Die rcp olie moet er inderdaad in, 5w30. Deze is speciaal door Stellantis goedgekeurd zodat de wet belt minder snel stuk gaat.

Pros: Stellantis goedgekeurd
Cons: snel stuk gaat

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

Kupio sam par puta Total 9000 kad sam na\u0161ao u trgovini i mislim da je auto potro\u0161io vi\u0161e ulja nego kada ulje kupim u trgovini sa autodijelovima.

Cons: auto potro\u0161io vi\u0161e ulja
