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

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

I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00

I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.

Pros: same wear analysis
Cons: no noticeable difference
Vehicle: Volkswagen
