Had een Corsa van 2008 met ketting. Deze begon al vrij snel olie te drinken (liter per 3000km).

Toen kreeg ik het advies om deze olie te kopen van een vriend, daar heb ik probleemloos nog 7 jaar mee gereden.

Pros: probleemloos nog 7 jaar
Cons: olie te drinken
Vehicle: Opel Corsa

I noticed that the engine was way smoother (way less vibration) when lightly lugging the gears at 1600 - 1800 rpm on the Valvoline vs the stock oil or Castrol Magnatec. The Valvoline did the same on my 2022 BRZ vs the stock oil and the dealership bulk Magnatec. I also tried Shell oil and the Valvoline is by far the smoothest below 2000 rpm. Almost no oil burnt or evaporated in between oil changes on both cars (less than 100ml per 3k miles) with the Valvoline Advanced.

Pros: smoother engine, less vibration, no oil consumption
Vehicle: Subaru

Oil consumption was the biggest issue when running 5w30. Changed to a 5w40, 10w30, and then got recommend 15w40 and oil consumption stopped

Pros: stopped oil consumption

G60 Carat said: Speaking of Rotella, Here's a personal observation of mine. My beater Saturn 1.9 has a lifter tick (not fixing it, don't care), so I just put in Rotella T, and it quiets it up a bunch! But last oil change I just used the 20w50 I had on the shelf for the VW, since it's in pieces anyways. Despite the heavier oil, the lifter tick is louder with 20w50 that it was with 15w40 Diesel oil.

Pros: quiets lifter noise
Cons: louder lifter tick
