Reviews of RAVENOL engine oil

I am getting great results with the Ravenol VMO 5w40 in my 08 2.0 TSI, almost no burn off in 5K change and area below oil fill in valve cover is spotless. Used to have a dark color oil film at change interval but after 4 changes with the Ravenol it is clean oil film now at change.

In my VW's I do 5K oil/filter change just to be safe and always use VW spec oil. I do not have analysis done on my used oil, it may go farther but $50 for Ravenol VMO 5w40 and OEM filter is a lot cheaper than an engine rebuild.

I am using the Ravenol for last 3 changes, oil consumption at 5K change intervals is less than 1/2 quart (about 1/4 qt on last change) and hoping this may lead to less carbon build up.

after 2000km of running on it, i see there is quite a drop (30% from the max point). i think that is very weird...
