Engine oil Shell or FUCHS
I run Fuchs Titan Truck 15w40 in my Cummins 6BT, engine was rebuilt about 50,000ks ago, seems to go alright with this oil
using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
My regular since i think 2014 or so has been helix ultra 5w40 running in all my vehicles currently.
I run 0w30 in my F82 M4 as that's what BMW and Shell recommend.

I am using 15W40 Shell Oil for the last 8 years. No issues. 160k Kms on the Odometer
I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.
I run rotella T6 5w-40. Have for 120k miles and will for the next 120k
Ive used T6 with good results. The major drawback with T6 is foaming, it's less than great in that regards.
