Shell Engine oil

I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w30 in my 330i car. It also has BMW Long Life certification. I'm very satisfied with it and would recommend it to you. It also offers good value for money compared to other higher-end brands. You don't get better performance for the money you pay.

Pros: very satisfied, good value, good performance
Vehicle: BMW

I started using this on my high mileage Rav4 has definitely made the valve train noise quieter on the 2AR-Fe, I could swear the chain rattle that plagues these seems to have quieted down.

Pros: valve train noise quieter
Vehicle: Toyota

VALVOLINE Engine oil

I’ve run it for about 300 miles now in my 08’ Hummer with the 6.2L. So far cold start noises have drastically gone down, oil pressure hasn’t changed much. Truck seems happy so far. I’m monitoring dip stick varnish to see how well this cleans over time, for now I’m using my ears as my evidence and it sounds so much better.

Pros: cold start noises reduced
Cons: oil pressure unchanged
Mileage: 300 km

Just threw some into my Corolla with around 200k on it. Always used standard 5/0W-20s in it and last time I was inside of it there was some light depositing and varnish, nothing crazy but it runs like a well-kept 200k mile engine. Seems to have alleviated a little bit of lifter tick in the 500-700 miles that it’s been in there so far. Seems like a good and high quality oil overall.

Pros: alleviated lifter tick
Mileage: 500 km

My Xterra would burn about 1.5 qts of oil between changes (I change every 3750 miles). Been using this stuff for about 18 months now and my oil consumption has gone down to just about 1/2 qt between changes, and my fuel economy has improved by about 1-2 mpg.

Pros: reduced oil consumption, improved economy
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 3750 km

It seems to do a fine job lubricating, but, everything I ever put it in started consuming oil. They all stopped once I switched to other oils.

Pros: fine job lubricating
Cons: started consuming oil
