Engine oil VALVOLINE or RAVENOL

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

I just switched to Valvoline EP 0w20 after using Mobile 1 all my life, for a very important reason...

...the easy to open top with a built in pour spout. So good.

For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.

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’ve used a few but the best for me is mopar oil filter and Valvoline full synthetic.

I’ve been using Valvoline full synthetic with a KN filter. Never had an issue

Valvoline full synthetic with max life tech is my current favorite but I think I might be able to unseat him soon.

I personally use 5w50 valvoline fully synthetic racing oil for my r56 and change every 5000 km which is like around 3k miles and it's running good
