Engine oil RAVENOL or OEM BMW

I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.

BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

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.

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.

Nothing but the best. I personally use Ravenol. I have a bew and very particular about our because of cam issues. I would only substitute this for liquid Molly.

I just ordered the ravenol after watching a youtube channel (sergiu gabor) where ravenol yielded the best results of simulated wear indication tests against various oil brands.

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