Engine oil Shell or ZIC

Shell Engine oil

Shell Rotella (Rimula) 10W40, mines on 165k, 6 months ago I did the O2 Pilot mod and started to use the above oil as it's fully synthetic and made for Buses, Heavy Trucks etc, and so has extremely good cleaning abilities. My oil consumption has dropped almost 4 fold and the cams, rockers, oil filter housing have all been cleaned of the varnish type coating they had too.

Pros: good cleaning abilities, reduced consumption
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 165000 km

The oil type is likely fine, but the viscosity isn't. Ignore what the book says, get the 5W30 out of there. The PDs love to eat cams, and running 5W30 makes the problem worse. Me personally, I run Shell Rotella T6 5W40.

Cons: cams love to eat

Shell advance long ride or power you have two choices for fully synthetic trust me dude once you try shell there's no going back castrol is the worst for Royal Enfield and motul is better suited for high compression engines like KTM etc

Pros: fully synthetic, no going back
Cons: castrol is the worst

I run Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 diesel engine oil in my Versys. It has all the ratings necessary for a motorcycle engine and a wet clutch, and it is a quarter of the cost of bike oils.

Pros: quarter of the cost

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

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
