I'm at 365,000 km and switched to Shell Rotella T6 probably 30-40k ago. Oil consumption was at last halved - the detergents in that oil really help clean up deposits in the rings, or so I'm told.
Pros: halved oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 365000 km
Quality synthetic oils provide the lowest oil temps, longest running life and superior lubrication. I use Shell Rotella T5 10W-40 for Texas climate.
Pros: lowest oil temps, superior lubrication
I've used T6 in my MK4 BEW for 5 years now. Regular changes, no issues at all, and at 1/3, the cost of 'suggested' brand.
Pros: no issues, lower cost
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Personally I rock she’ll rotella 15w40 in the summer and 5w40 in the winter to aid in cold starting. Seems to work pretty good
Pros: aid in cold starting
Shell helix has been fine for me
Pros: has been fine
You can use it for motorcycles I have in the pass only thing I don't like is my bikes don't shift gears super smooth with rotella also in my Yamaha owners manual it says in capital letters do not use diesel oil and I did and I fried my clutch plates and had to put new clutch plates
Cons: bikes don't shift smooth
When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.
Cons: false-neutrals
Mileage: 300 km
As long as you’re not mixing fuel with it you’ll be fine. All of my stuff runs on basic and cheap T4 Rotella 15w-40. Have never had a single issue
Pros: no issues, cheap
Rotella T6 full synthetic, zero problems, never let me down.
Pros: zero problems, never let down
