Engine oil Shell or Total

ROTELLA T6 - Instantly i noticed a very nice purr from the motor. Its a heavy oil and with stabilizer (in this case thinner than the oil) It warmed up slower, meaning that it was absorbing more heat. No extra start up noise at all. The biggest gain from the Rotella was hot weather stability. It seemed to perform the best when you drove the car hard! Hot weather didnt affect the engines power anymore, and that made me really happy. Turbo lag was increased slightly, and the engine revved slightly slower, but remained perfectly stable. I loved this oil for protection, its really good for hot weather!

I'm running T6 in my car as well It's been great the last few changes, best oil I've used for my 1.8T and I have over 190k on my engine.

Jumpers, disc golf bag, sleeping bag, old winter jacket w/ wool socks, OEM jack w/breaker bar, 4 qt Rotella T6.

i had previously been using Total Energy 9000 5-40 and had been running it for 2 seasons .i would change out the filter after 1 year and top it up with approx. 3/4 qt of fresh oil. i don't drive a whole lot and had only put on about 9,500 miles in that time. i just switched back to Castrol Edge 5-40 this week.

Shell Rotella T6 is a nice, solid oil. relatively inexpensive also.

Turbo ppl love it due to the shearing factor. Blows M1 out of the water for down here in Florida. Oil consumption went down in my 2.0T when using it.

Currently using it on the 16V. So far it has quieted down the top end valve chatter. Also it has stopped the Oil Evaporation issue I had.

I ran it as a year round oil in my s2000 and a winter oil in my evo. Great stuff. Cheap too.

It's a great oil, use it

I use Rotella T6 on my 2.0T. it's fine.
