I just ordered the ravenol after watching a youtube channel (sergiu gabor) where ravenol yielded the best results of simulated wear indication tests against various oil brands.
Has anyone here tried Ravenol yet? I've been using Liqui Moly's TOP TEC 6200 VW 508/509 but read around that this oil below is also good if not better.
Ravenol on amazon has FL22 coolant, it’s what I used on my 2012 and my car is running perfect 6 months later.
Ravenol do the awd-h oil.
Ravenol (HJC) Hybrid Japanese Coolant. Exact same specs as the Mazda fl22, my rx8 has never overheated with it.
Ravenol VMP (best oil hands down for diesel).
Ditto for the Pentosin G12. I also use Ravenol OTC G12+ from blauparts.com
I have been using the Ravenol VMO 5w30 formula that you can get through Blauparts.com, I have reduced oil consumption in my 2.0 TSI by using this oil.
I ran either Mobil 1 or Castrol VW Spec oil in my 08 2.0 TSI and had the usual high burn off with no visible leaks for 1st 100K or so and then switched to Ravenol VMO VW Spec oil I buy on line for a premium price but I like the fact there is little burn off in 5L change intervals which should equate to less carbon buildup in the upper intake of the heads. I have not done an oil analysis which would be helpful to know if I should be waiting to 7,500 or more before I change filter and oil. I had the misfortune of a valve spring breaking at 125K that lead to the head being removed and rebuilt at VW Dealer, the head mechanic was amazed how clean engine was (Mobil 1/Castrol) and the honing lines on the cylinder walls could still be seen indicating very little if any wear. I'm at 156K and burn about 1/2 quart every 5K and engine is as tight as Day 1 with APR Stage 1 Tune
Personally I use Ravenol VMO that I buy online from Blauparts that is made in Germany, IMO the best I have ever run in my turbo 4 cyl VW engines and get almost zero burn off in my 2.0T over 5K miles changes and I am now at 150K.
