Engine oil Shell or Total

I use Rotella 10-40w Diesel oil. works great.

I used Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 for a while (not cat AND Sohn installed) and it was fine.

I run Brotella T6 5-40. 22.50 a gallon from amazon. Fantastic Stuff.

If you look at the forums there’s tons of information on this. The rotella T6 5w40 is considered to be the best oil for the EJ hands down.

I run 15W-40 Shell [B]Rotella in my Volvo because it's an old turbo car and the enthusiast community has had success with it.

It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C

That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.

These days I do use T6 because I know the winters in south Texas aren't cold enough to worry about running anything lighter.

People like rotella because it’s a high zinc oil and subarus just like high zinc.

I run the Rottela 15w40 in my stock 05 Subaru Legacy GT (EJ255) and my mk4 supra turbo. Haven't had issues with the cats on the Subie, I do plan to remove them tho
