Pros: fine oil

Vehicle: Honda

I use rotella 5-40 in mine. It's really cheap for a full synthetic and I saw less oil consumption after switching. It's intended for diesel engines but I haven't seen any negative effects after using it for 60k miles. I usually change it around 4k miles.

Pros: less oil consumption

Cons: diesel engine intended

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Mileage: 96560 km
