Engine oil RAVENOL or FUCHS

Been running Fuchs 5W40 lately, N52 with 130k kms

I use Fuchs Titan SuperSyn 5W-40 - widely considered to be the lowest-consumption oil for the M54 engine, and it's very cheap.

Mann filter.

I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.

Fuchs Titan 5w30

In Germany we driver Ravenol RCS 5w-40 and Archoil 9100....sick combination. i drive it in my c63s and gle63s and volvo S60....

I think the Ravenol VSE 0W-20 is a good performer, based on these tests.

So, I recently drove 2 oils: NGN Emerald 5w30 and Ravenol VST 5w40. I watched the oil temperature displayed on the route book display in different modes, but there were no problems with the temperature.

I used Ravenol VST 5w40.

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.

I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
