Engine oil RAVENOL or IDEMITSU

RAVENOL Engine oil

Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.

Pros: good for racing
Cons: not discount brand

RAVENOL Engine oil
Low-Power-5970
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.5

I went down a rabbit hole with engine oil a while back and settled on ravenol. I get that most top tier oils are good enough but my issue was I was consuming more oil than I'd like with my f10 m5 and since switching, it is consuming considerably less oil

Pros: less oil consumption
Vehicle: BMW

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.

Pros: cars run like a dream, cost-saving
Vehicle: Toyota Avalon

IDEMITSU Engine oil

So if you review the virgin oil analysis database, it includes idemitsu 0w-20 and 5w-30 and for both, the TBN is rather weak in comparison to other more readily available blends, also, the viscosity at 9.5 cSt for a 30w, some 20w come close to that. Does any of that matter? Not a whole lot, but it shows that there's nothing special about the oil. Generally speaking, higher TBN is better.

Pros: nothing special about oil
Cons: TBN is rather weak
