Engine oil MOTUL or RAVENOL

RAVENOL Engine oil

I have that engine in my car and I've been obsessed about finding the best lubricant from day 1 of purchase... it seems like in general most engines in the 2000-2014 era, but especially om642, like a thicker oil, 5w40-0w40, with ravenol vmo being the only oil in there that had incredibly low metals in it by far, even at a 10-15k km oil sampling.

Pros: low metals, high viscosity

MOTUL Engine oil

I just hit 250,000 miles on my daily driven '95 M3. I've been using Motul 8100 X-CESS 5w-40 for the past 3 years or so. Prior to that, I was using Castrol Edge Euro 5w-30, which was the BMW factory fill. The Motul often comes out still golden. The Castrol always came out black. Didn't need to do an oil analysis to know which one had fewer metal particles.

Pros: Motul oil stays golden
Cons: Castrol oil comes out black
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 250000 km

MOTUL Engine oil

I’ve (mostly) only used Motul in my scooters. Only destroyed two engines and the oil wasn’t to blame. (I was.)

Pros: Used Motul oil
Cons: destroyed two engines

RAVENOL Engine oil

I was planning to but returned it. It was listed as a GL4 oil on the website but when it arrived, there wasn’t a mention of the GL4 on the bottle. Had a look at a technical spec sheet of the product online and it isn’t a GL4 oil indeed. Ravenol is quality oil however

Pros: quality oil
Cons: not GL4 oil
