Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40 Engine Oil 3-Pack

I drive modified turbo cars – a 2002 subaru impreza wrx upgraded to 270whp and a 2001 audi s4 upgraded to 400whp. I’ve run the 15w-40 Rotella T dino oil in my subaru for a couple years now – I was originally running royal purple but noticed that the car was burning it at a rate of at least a quart every thousand miles or so. Now turbo cars do burn a bit more oil than your average N/A car but this was excessive. Once I switched to the rotella, the consumption slowed to a more normal rate. When I bought my audi, I wanted to spare no expense in taking the best care of my engine since it was under more stress than a stock engine so I went for the T6 immediately. I’ve experienced very little oil consumption and I am confident this oil will adequately protect the engine. If you browse around the subaru forums you will see that there is a general consensus that subarus love rotella oil. Many of the unwashed masses like to run mobil 1 in their cars and end up frequently blowing engines (usually spun rod bearings). The problem with mobil 1 is that it shears down to a lower weight very quickly and fails to adequately protect the moving parts in the engine. This has been demonstrated time and time again by used oil analysis. Diesel guys that tow huge loads and have engines pushing out south of 1000 ft-lbs of torque trust their engines to this oil, so if that’s not a good metric then I don’t know what is. Do yourself a favor – if you drive a vehicle with a high-output engine, run this oil so it stays in one piece.

I’ve been waiting for this moment to give my reviews,infact i gamble into purchasing this Shell Rotlla T6 engine oil for my bike Yamaha YZF R1 2001 model,i was worried about clutch slip wat will happen after which even though there positive reviews from others there is still some hesitation in me hence i procced to do the oil change today,went for ride for about 50km around the expressways in my homeland Singapore,To my surprise the clutch doesn’t slip the engine was smooth,gear shifting was even smoother,This engine oil clearly proved that not only its work on diesel vehicles,works on superbikes too,And i conclude in my statement that n respect others whom had reviews that its safe to use this Shell Rotella T6 5w40 clearly the choice for me n also look forward to purchase it for my next oil change.Thumb up!!!!!

Used this with:
2003 SV650
2013 GSXR-1000
2005 GSXR
2007 CBR 1000
2007 Yamaha R1
2013 Honda CTX 1300

All bikes ridden at track except for the CTX. All bikes run fantastic and smooth. Your bike may, however, run just slightly louder when compared to regular conventional, so you will hear all the inner ticks and spinning a bit more, but its almost negligible. I also have sensitive ears. What better way than this though to bond with your bike? =)
The best priced synthetic oil I have found considering the price and performance. You can even extend your oil change intervals to 4000-5000 if you want with regular riding.

At the time of this review I have only traveled 100 miles with this oil.

The most apparent difference is that my fuel consumption has gone up, nothing unexpected but not everyone might think oil could affect MPGs.

I have gone from 18.6mpg to 15.6mpg on my trip computer in the 100 miles travelled so far. I travel almost always in the city, with frequent stops and short distances, so I feel that this is also the reason why my mpg has suffered.

I will keep an eye out for future changes.

Aside from this, I am hoping this thicker oil will help quieten the valve chatter, as it was very noticeable on thinner 5W-20/30 oils.

Finally I will be looking to see how much oil will be burnt towards the 6K mile mark with this oil, and how the oil will come out when it will be time to replace. I have used dino oil for the last two changes and have gone through 2 quarts in the final 1000 miles, so this might help reduce the oil consumption.

I am using this on a Wrangler JK with excess of 70k miles coupled with a RP High Mileage filter.
