Engine oil RAVENOL or Pentosin

In my VW's I do 5K oil/filter change just to be safe and always use VW spec oil. I do not have analysis done on my used oil, it may go farther but $50 for Ravenol VMO 5w40 and OEM filter is a lot cheaper than an engine rebuild.

I am using the Ravenol for last 3 changes, oil consumption at 5K change intervals is less than 1/2 quart (about 1/4 qt on last change) and hoping this may lead to less carbon build up.

I like pentosin and motul

Pentosin is pretty cheap and good quality, thats what Ive been using the past couple years.

I have a 08 2.5 Been using Pentosin 5w-40 so far so good

5w40 pentosin vw 502.00+ oil. Hasn't let me down in any of my motors yet!

Thanks for selling me the last two bottles of Pentosin!

Pentosin High Performance is the right one to use. 5w-40 Pento High Performance 5W-40 is an especially formulated fuel economy engine oil. It is based on synthetic base oils only, the most modern and best engine oil additives currently available and a very shear stable VI - Improver. The combination of these exquisite components guarantees an excellent engine performance under the most severe driving conditions. Pento High Performance 5W-40 is ideally suited as an all season engine oil. Pento High Performance 5W-40 contains a special combination of very efficient fric-tion modifiers which cause the engine to run very smoothly. Even more important, it causes fuel savings in a recognizable way.

I would stick with oils like PENTOSIN/LUBRO-MOLY/CASTROL GERMAN/MOTUL/ This one is easy. Anything not made in the US and is 100% synthetic. I use Pentosin high performance 5w-40, 502/501/500 approved oil.

pentosin/pentosynth 5W40 here, changed it 1K miles ago (second run on this oil), great stuff ecstuning.com sell it for ~28 bucks for 5 liter. I like it much, much more over the castrol from dealership (used that too and after 2K miles changed back to pentsynth). I'm very happy with it.
