Engine oil Shell or Lucas
Oil consumption was the biggest issue when running 5w30. Changed to a 5w40, 10w30, and then got recommend 15w40 and oil consumption stopped
Rotella T6 ! Zero issues.
So far itong si Shell yung may pinaka smooth na oil sakin.
It completely transforms the bike , it resists heating like it almost non existent even after a hard session of riding, performance is consistent in warm up, cold start or all kinds of situation ,fuel efficiency definitely increased, and the acceleration is also noticable better and power is also good compared to when I used to run on liquid gun and on highways the bike totally becomes a beast . I highly recommend shell to my fellow riders, it's the one that completely suits RE engines
I switched to 5w30 shell from 10w30 havoline.
No problems. The engine is a little bit cleaner.
I am using Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, fully synthetic for my Lancer (2006), change it at around 7000 KMs. No complaints, my travel includes short & long distance, very happy & satisfied.
Why spend more when you can buy Shell Helix Ultra FS 5w40 from Lotus's, Giant or Aeon Big for half the price or less compared bought in petrol stations.
I run mobil1 but my local small engine place that installs and services Generac, Kohler and Briggs swears by Rotella straight 30 weight.
Everyone has their preferences, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter, just change it regularly. I've used Mobil1, Pennzoil, LiquiMoly, Royal Purple, Rotella and probably a couple others I'm forgetting. No noticeable difference between any of them.
I did use the Shell T6 Rotella 5W40 for 4 OCI's and then got a misfire issue. When my mechanic was going thru the possible symptoms he asked what oil i used. When i told him it's a full synthetic deisel truck oil he shook his head and said that not a good idea. Too thick, and that could have an impact.
