Engine oil RAVENOL or Eneos

When it comes to oil, Ravenol is really good and is also Made in Germany, some even recommend it over VW or BorgWarner, as it is full synthetic and does not break down/sludge up as fast.

I have used Ravenol USVO DXG 5 - 30. Comes back in most of the testing I see done as excellent oil. I only drive 5k miles year here in Minnesota taking the car off the road by October 1st and not back until at least April 1st, sometimes the 15th, and once in a great while as late as May 1 based on the weather. I change the oil once a year prior to putting it away for the winter. The oil comes after 5,000 mlles out almost the same honey color it went in as.

Ravenol user here (previously motul and shell user). So far, engine temp is 1 line lower, quieter engine, and very slightly better fuel economy. Ravenol for the Altis 2.0, yaris, and rav4.

On 2006 F800S i have used Ravenol. I tried Shell, BMW oil(Shell, basically) and Ravenol. With Ravenol- no false neutrals. At stops i was able to find neutral almost instantly... And engine sounds somewhat "greasy"

I have used Eneos 5w30 in it since I bought it. This is a group 5 oil and I believe that it saved my ass. Last summer going to work my car blew the top radiator hose off. I was about 3 miles from work and so I decided to just drive it. The temp gauge was pegged all the way. Come to find out my radiator inlet broke since it was plastic. I was able to get the hose back on after work and filled it up with coolant. Replaced the radiator with an aluminum CSF two row and knock on wood everything has been good since. Not losing water or oil and no smoke coming out the tailpipe or anything.

I use Ravenol on my 1NZ and 3ZR engines.

I’ve had a few oil samples analyzed of ENEOS and the OEM 0W-8 and the results are promising at 3k intervals.

I have an Octavia 2.5 vRS TDI and it has 450k km now, it only drank 5w30 and never an issue, not even in cold winters and I had a few -25 starts and it started right away, at the first key turn.

I’ve used Shaffer’s and now ENEOS and T6 when it was the in thing and I can’t really tell a huge difference.

after 2000km of running on it, i see there is quite a drop (30% from the max point). i think that is very weird...
