Engine oil Shell or RAVENOL

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

Rotella T6 15W-40. I’ve used it in all my bikes, cars, lawnmower. It’s the best option if you own lots of motors. Just change it frequently.

Pros: best option, own lots motors

First oil change after filling with T-6 on my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that didn't have a kit on it) I bought with 130k miles on it was really black, almost a bit sludgy. Next few oil changes quickly got better as the detergent broke down sludge in the top end and cleaned the motor up.

Pros: detergent broke down sludge
Cons: oil was sludgy
Vehicle: Saab
Mileage: 130000 km

Everyone has their preferences, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter, just change it regularly. I've used Mobil1, Pennzoil, LiquiMoly, Royal Purple, Rotella and probably a couple others I'm forgetting. No noticeable difference between any of them.

Pros: no noticeable difference
Vehicle: BMW

When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.

Cons: false-neutrals
Mileage: 300 km
