Engine oil VALVOLINE or Shell

I would order Shell Helix for £20/4L online instead.

If you’re burning any oil 20w-50 valvoline racing full synthetic. If everything is good and oil 10w30 full synthetic

that oil helped my Honda out tremendously with oil burning.

had a Y33 nissan with 305K miles on the OD, it was burning/losing about a quart every 900 miles or so, after 4 oil changes over a year and a half with Valvoline R&P, its now down to a quart every 3000 miles give or take a couple of hundred. its no more expensive than other quality oils so why not? if it can do that for a 26 year old nissan V8, it has me sold.

According to a well known subie mechanic /tuner /builder that also rallys them here in Australia , the valvoline restore and protect is a game changer compared to other oils.

Valvoline ran better and leaked less in my old 92 civic eg compared to mobile 1

I have used Shell Rotella T6 for 19 years on this engine with no issue.

As far as oil , im running valvoline restore and protect. Half way thru first oil change and the caked on varnish is just wiping away. Good stuff.

Shell helix ultra for mb’s spec, change when the car asks to. I’ve not had the car since it was new, so it’s pointless to spend extra money when it won’t make it last longer

Stay away from rotella conventional. I’ve heard and now as well personally have had a turbo grenade due to their oil quality, that’s the conventional anyways.
