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.
I have a 2024 Jetta S with the 6 speed. Mine used about a 1/4 of a quart of oil in the first 500 miles. I topped it off and it hasn't use any since, now at 5K.
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.
I have a baleno woth 130k mileage and I have been using shell 10w 40 and the performance and fuel avg is great
I use rotella 15w-40, high zinc content but my engine also has 230k miles
I use one oil - shell rotella. It goes in my XRL my 4.0 Jeep and my 7.3IDI diesel ????
I always used gn4 but switched to rotella t6 15w40 cheaper, full synthetic. it can handle the heat alittle better and I like the shift quality over gn4. Walmart has it for cheap
Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.
I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.
Stay away from rotella conventional. I’ve heard and now as well personally have had a turbo grenade due to their oil quality, that’s the conventional anyways.
