As soon as my warranty is up on my SQ5 in November, I'll be going to Rowe Hitech Synth RS 5w-40. One of the very few true synthetic PAOs out there and on par with LiquiMoly pricing (USP Sells it w/free shipping).
Pros: true synthetic PAO
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Not really . My tuner (jackal motorsports) recommends Rowe RS synthetic oil . Currently using LM molygen , it's ok but apparentlyThe RS is the best stuff
Pros: high quality oil
Cons: just ok
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 10000 km
I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.
Pros: helped a lot
Mileage: 230000 km
The road spec oils are excellent for daily driving and trackdays. Smoother engine, better engine efficiency, no oil consumption.
Pros: smoother engine, better efficiency
Cons: no oil consumption
ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.

Cons: no complains
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
