I've been using Ravenol VMP for the past year, reviews show it as a high end oil. Lots of VAG tdi people swear by it here in Europe.

Pros: high end 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

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

Ravenol is one of the few manufacturers that offers synthetic oils (not all, only those labeled "vollysint").

Pros: offers synthetic oils

New Audi do not have the oil sticks to check the oil levels, so they always under pour the engin oil in the car, my q8 is been serviced by Audi and past 2 years I have to top up oil (which is free as car is under warranty) but last month I got pissed and asked them to top it up to max and car runs much smoother and fuel consumption for 1 full tank is 130 km better.

Pros: car runs smoother

Cons: have to top up

Vehicle: Audi Q8

Pros: engine runs fine

Cons: put oil in it
