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.
Quality synthetic oils provide the lowest oil temps, longest running life and superior lubrication. I use Shell Rotella T5 10W-40 for Texas climate.
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.
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
Shell helix has been fine for me
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
Rotella T6 full synthetic, zero problems, never let me down.
Rotella t6 never let me down cannot get it so Schaeffer's it is. As long as you change it you're good. Schaeffer's has a 5w40 which I like because I see thirty below in the winters
Rotella T6 15w40 is like franks hot sauce, I run that shit in literally everything. Civic, VW tdi, cummins, generator, even my KTM 450 dirtbike. I’ve owned the bike since new and for a very high performance engine at 120 hard hours it looked nearly brand new, I’ve never seen an oil perform like that.
Rotella T6 5w-40 and it’s finally easier to find now!
