Engine oil RAVENOL or OEM Volkswagen

RAVENOL Engine 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

RAVENOL Engine oil
Low-Power-5970
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.5

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

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

as long as it meets the VW 508 00/509 00 specification, it'll be fine which I think is 0w-20 and I \\*think\\* 5w-20

don't go beyond that, while it \\*may\\* not fuck the engine up, those 1.4Ts are REALLY picky (I had one in my Jetta Hybrid and anything past 5w-20 and she was angry )

Pros: meets VW specification
Cons: engine is picky
