I use Pentosin Pento HP II fully synthetic Euro Spec 5w-40 oil (made by Fuchs Oil in Germany). According to test data I have read it is a much better oil than the Mobil 1 oil. I believe that the 5w-40 oil provides greater protection against oil vaporization, as the OM642 can run at elevated temperatures leading to high oil temperatures, which tends to break down the oil sooner.

Pros: better than Mobil 1, greater protection, resists vaporization

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
