Engine oil RAVENOL or OEM Audi

In Canada Audi recommends oil changes ever 15,000km. I always do 10-12,000km because I do city driving. My buddy did every 25,000km on his Mercedes Benz and the thing lasted to 400,000km.

5-6k. It depends on how much you push the car. Hard acceleration and high revs will require more frequent oil changes.

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.

I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.

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.

2012 3.0tfsi turned out to be a mild hybrid as it burns 1l/5k km.

after 2000km of running on it, i see there is quite a drop (30% from the max point). i think that is very weird...
