Notorious Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Just changed my oil but I really wanted to switch to a Motul Xcess next... tempting for sure. I saw on Amazon that the 5 liter jug of Motul was only $35, never seen it that low before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindguy74 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm using Valvoline synthetic...is my car going to blow up? Should I switch to this stuff? Serious...kinda....kinda not serious...pros/cons/??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dishwasher Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 That you keep your car topped up on oil, is far more important than which oil you use. These cars are thirsty, and they blow up when they don't have enough oil in them. That being said Rotella works well in these cars, and is pretty inexpensive. ($20 for a gallon of synthetic).

Serious...kinda....kinda not serious...pros/cons/??? keep using what you are using if it works and you have no oil consumption. Rotella T6 is popular cause its a full sythetic 5w-40, not a 5w-30, so its thicker and helps seal older EJs better can keeps oil consumption down and can take a beating from high heat. All that for $20 a gallon. There is nothing wrong though with using something else as long as you arent losing oil and are changing appropriately.

Been using Rotella for a long time and still consumes oil . I have to check the level quite often or else, she'll be dead already. I do admit the engine leaks a bit at the passenger valve cover. But still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 its certainly not an end all fix for consumption. it may slow it some but it wont fix bad rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Sure. I guess my point is, if I were to use a 5w30 oil right now, the consumption would be even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
