I'll put this in my body:



...but for my cars, I'm pretty much convinced that Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 is the best balance of quality, price, and additive package. Currently only $19.97 at the Wally'.

I have been using Rotella T6 for more than a decade, started with Saab turbos then Boxster. Higher zinc content to protect bearings, great value and never had any issues.
