I always used Rotella 5w30 gas truck oil designed for “All Mileage” in my 2005 Nissan Frontier with 95k but it’s been discontinued. I really liked this oil as it seemed to be thicker and remained viscous for longer compared to others. My favorite part about it? NO LEAKS!
Fuck Mobil 1. Get you some penzoil ultra platinum or better yet some amsoil. They’re both miles better than Mobil 1. I used to use Mobil before switching to penzoil. The difference was noticeable
I use Full Synthetic ( Pennzoil Platinum). At 24K I really can't even tell the engine is running when I come to a stop, its just that smooth and quiet.
Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 in my 09 e90 335d (m57)
Supposedly should be changed every 13k miles but I do 7500 to hopefully help extend the life of the timing chain.
Pennsoil Platinum High Mileage 0W20. It seems to run best on it, at least among the wal mart oils.
I’ve a 01 330ci with 284kms on it and I’ve been running Rotella 5w-40 T6 for a few years and it’s been really good. Keeps it good and clean for 10k change intervals. I probably end up adding 2-3L over that time, which was a vast improvement from when I got the car 30k ago.
I switched from Castrol Edge 0W-40 to Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 on my E46 325Ci and feel it runs a touch better and doesn't burn as much oil. Before I was adding 1L per \~3000km, now maybe 1L per 5-6000km...
First impressions - engine is noticeably quieter and smoother at idle. Engine temps is lower by 1 line. slightly better throttle response. As for fuel consumption, i have to drive more my usual route to know if there is an improvement.
Rotella T6 0W40.
Phattbotti tuning has done oil sample tests in multiple oils and he says Rotella T6 5w-40 is the best bang for the buck.
