RAVENOL Engine oil

Rating 5.0

I bought this unusual oil made in Germany Ravenol NDT 5W-40...my truck has never sounded or performed better. I was hearing a little bit of top end noise at idle and that's complete quieted with this oil, as well as throttle response and overall smoothness of the engine and turbocharger increased greatly.

Pros: quieted top end noise, increased smoothness
Cons: expensive

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.

Pros: best results of wear

OEM Mazda Engine oil

Remember that the rotary engine burns oil by design and does not particularly like eating synthetics. Expect to use old fashioned dino juice and change your oil every 3000 miles.

Pros: old fashioned dino juice
Cons: burns oil by design
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 4828 km

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.

Pros: reduced oil consumption

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

Pros: little burn off, clean engine, tight engine
Cons: premium price
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 156000 km
