Engine oil RAVENOL or Lucas

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

Personally I use Ravenol VMO that I buy online from Blauparts that is made in Germany, IMO the best I have ever run in my turbo 4 cyl VW engines and get almost zero burn off in my 2.0T over 5K miles changes and I am now at 150K.

I am getting great results with the Ravenol VMO 5w40 in my 08 2.0 TSI, almost no burn off in 5K change and area below oil fill in valve cover is spotless. Used to have a dark color oil film at change interval but after 4 changes with the Ravenol it is clean oil film now at change.

In my VW's I do 5K oil/filter change just to be safe and always use VW spec oil. I do not have analysis done on my used oil, it may go farther but $50 for Ravenol VMO 5w40 and OEM filter is a lot cheaper than an engine rebuild.

I am using the Ravenol for last 3 changes, oil consumption at 5K change intervals is less than 1/2 quart (about 1/4 qt on last change) and hoping this may lead to less carbon build up.

like i said 280,000km and had a tick when i got it 2 years ago, used one bottle of lucas, tick is gone. i beat the sheeet out of it everyday. no more tick.

I use Lucas oil in my motor oil for 1990 VW 1.6L Jetta diesel. I started using Lucas Oil because a relative of mine has been driving a large semi for almost 30 years, and he, like many in the trucking industry, swear by Lucas Oil. Judging by the parts per million of metal present in my motor oil, my motor oil with 1 cup of Lucas Oil, was wearing pretty well.
