Engine oil Mobil or Shell
Rotella T6 5W40
I run Rotella T6 5w-40 full syn Heavy duty Diesel engine oil in all my small engines with good results. Scooter, ATV, lawn mower, Honda car, and my F350.
My 2001 330i loves Mobil 1 0w-40
Been running it for years on the stuff .
I use Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0W-40. This meets VW 502.00 specs and has a slightly wider multigrade range that suits the climate where I live: it'll be -15°F overnight this week, but well up into the nineties in summer. This Mobil 1 is also readily available almost anywhere, and was also approved for our previous BMW 525i and is for the Audi Q5 that's replaced it, so using the same oil for both simplifies my automotive life.
RotellaT and Wix. Since my first turbo in 2007.
I used Rotella T6 in my old Subaru. It solved the oil consumption issue that boxer engine had. Seems like most people on NASIOC run T6. So if your car burns oil, it's worth a shot.
I've used it in my Z06, Suburban, my wife's Ford Edge Ecoboost and my old Gixxer and R6.
It's a good oil and cost effective.
It's synthetic, has decent additives and won't hurt anything in any of your vehicles.
I'm at 50k using M1 0W-40 at around a 8k oil change interval. Did the first change at 5k. Ran it up to 10k for the last change. Not burning a drop of oil. That is like a miracle for a VAG engine.
Mostly Mobil 1. I have been looking into other oils for my Z06 though.
For Nissan I see people tend to prefer Mobil 1 Full synthetic. I don't know what other oil my Sentra was using before but the car runs better on Mobil 1 for me.
