Engine oil RAVENOL or ROWE

ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.

I use Rowe as well and it's fantastic. No complains so far

I use rowe on all my cars, amazing oil but it’s more expensive

I've used Rowe, no complaints

Even Ravenol, which is pretty expensive since it is made in Germany from Group V base stock. Great stuff.

I used to have castrol but since i chiptuned my octavia i switched to ravenol and the oil temps went down a good bit and it doesnt use any oil but that could also be because the old oil was 0w20 and the new one is 5w40

Last month I replaced the valve stem seals and it helped massively with the smoke. It doesn't really smoke much anymore, there's definitely still small puffs when taking off quickly, but nothing that I can see in the mirror.

I go with 10w40 Ravenol TSi

I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.

The oil i have run: VW brand, Castrol and Ravenol all 0w-20 that meets 508/509. Basically on cooler outside temperatures the oil does run slightly higher than on hotter days.
