I have noticed my car is "running better" with the Rotella, and i have not had to top it off at all compared to running Motul 5w40 i had to add quite a bit over my OCI.
I've done 3 OCIs with this T6 Rotella; LOVE it!
For my 2004 VW Golf TDI(125,000 miles) I use Shell Rotella 5w-40 Full Synth.
based on oil analysis done by some members I been using rotella synthetic 5-40 ever since I got the car 7 yrs ago.. while not a group 4 oil it does the job and I aint spending $8 a quart in oil for a regular car opcorn:
I'm using Rotella T6 5w40 in my car. For the money, it's one of the better buys for oil since it holds up so well. It's got good additives that don't shear down quickly, decent amounts of zinc and phosphorus, and it works in just about anything - cars, trucks, diesels, bikes with wet clutches, etc.
rotella t6 5w40 diesel oil. nothing else.
I use Rotella 5-w40. I've been using it for like 5 years in my 02 1.8t and haven't noticed any wear really at all. I drive pretty aggressive, redline 3+ times a day.
I have done really well with Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 as well. All are good oils that you can get away with changing every 5-6,000 miles.
This Rotella T run looked good.
I have been trying the Shell Rotella T6 out for the last 3 changes. seems to be working out quite well so far. Just checked my fluids yesterday after 2k miles and I only needed about a quarter of a quart. not too shabby.
