Engine oil RAVENOL or OEM Volkswagen

RAVENOL Engine oil

I have that engine in my car and I've been obsessed about finding the best lubricant from day 1 of purchase... it seems like in general most engines in the 2000-2014 era, but especially om642, like a thicker oil, 5w40-0w40, with ravenol vmo being the only oil in there that had incredibly low metals in it by far, even at a 10-15k km oil sampling.

Pros: low metals, high viscosity

Ravenol based on review videos on FB. Tumahimik makina & the tone ng engine nagiba mas smoother again based on videos lang sa FB not actual experience.

Pros: Tumahimik makina, mas smoother

When it comes to oil, Ravenol is really good and is also Made in Germany, some even recommend it over VW or BorgWarner, as it is full synthetic and does not break down/sludge up as fast.

Pros: full synthetic, good quality
Cons: breaks down fast

My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.

Pros: high mileage achieved
Cons: oil consumption every 3K
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 341180 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.

Pros: different additive package
Cons: viscosity is different
