VALVOLINE Engine oil

I see all these people shit talking the oil, but they haven't actually used it. I've used it, and it's great. I put it in one car (pontiac) with over 70k miles and it ran way better than with normal full synthetic. I got a 02 explorer with almost 200k miles, it was idling rough as hell. I thought it would need a tune up, spark plugs, ignition coils, oil change and air filter. One bottle later, started it up and it was almost silent.

Pros: ran way better, almost silent
Cons: slightly more expensive
Mileage: 70000 km

Shell Rotella T6. It's marketed as heavy diesel oil, but it meets the exact same specs as mobil 1 full synthetic and just has some extra detergent like diesel oils do.

This oil in OG 9-3 that have the crankcase retrofit kits clean the entire engine very well after a few oil changes getting rid of and preventing any sludge issues. The oil even eliminated some nasty tappet noise due to low oil pressure in my 2002 9-3 after a few seconds when I bought it.

Pros: cleans engine, eliminates tappet noise
Cons: marketed as heavy diesel oil
Vehicle: Saab

Shell Engine oil

I just hit 19k miles on my 2017 390. I ride it like someone stole it. Also thousands of high revving miles on the highway.

I use nothing but Rotella T6 15w-40. It is really good oil and it is cheaper than almost anything else you can use.

Pros: really good oil, cheaper

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Just swapped over to Valvoline Restore and Protect in my N52 BMW daily driver with 215k miles. I drive a lot and am taking before and after photos inside the valve train. I have exclusively used Castrol Edge A3/B4 for years so I will have a true comparative.

Pros: high detergent package
Cons: existing deposits go suspension
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 215000 km
