Engine oil RAVENOL or Mannol

I've always had good luck with manol oils.

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.

Oi analysis came back and no extra signs of wear... Mannol is great oil just change at 5k and add in oil additive such as ceratec every other change

I've used for the last 20k miles and no problems! Just change at 5k.

Also been using Mannol. Do 6k oil changes though. Made chain noise on start up. Swapped back to mannol noise gone.

I've used Mannol for a few years, it's dirt cheap here in the UK and I've never had any issues with it.

Using Mannol since years in Mercedes Diesel and gas engines , also in a BMW Boxer.

Onto my third or fourth big bottle of Mannol in a Toyota 2.2d4d and it has never missed a beat.

Ravenol VST 5w40 for now when my oil usage is nearly 1L for 1000km and I will probably go for the Ravenol RCS 5w40 after I rebuild the motor.

Von der Marke Mannol würde ich Abstand halten, da gab es gerade in letzter Zeit [Ungereimtheiten](https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/3702-mannol-hersteller-thread/&pageNo=19)
