Engine oil VALVOLINE or RAVENOL

Just changed oil today (same oil as above) at 104,728 miles. Purrs like a kitten.

Valvoline Synpower 5W40 I've been running this (VW 502.00 approved) in our '07 Audi 2.0TSI for over 100K mlies, 10K oil changes, and no issues.

Valvoline SynPower Full Synthetic 5W-40, VW502 approved. I use it in our '07 A4 (over 100K miles) and plan to use it in our '16 GSW.

Personally I use Ravenol VMO that I buy online from Blauparts that is made in Germany, IMO the best I have ever run in my turbo 4 cyl VW engines and get almost zero burn off in my 2.0T over 5K miles changes and I am now at 150K.

5W-30 Valvoline SynPower (full synthetic) and Mahle filter since I picked this car up at 89k in '11. Just cleared 175k last week.

I think what helped as much is the valvoline oil. Valvoline really agrees with my motor. Not sure why I have trouble with some of the other blends, but it's really quiet with the ashland add-pack.

Valvoline VR1 non synthetic. It is one of the ZDDP oils. Reasonably priced and the Z seems to like it.

[Valvoline SynPower](http://www.valvoline.com/products/brands/synpower/full-synthetic-motor-oil/5) is what I have run since I purchased my 2012 Subaru Legacy.

I am getting great results with the Ravenol VMO 5w40 in my 08 2.0 TSI, almost no burn off in 5K change and area below oil fill in valve cover is spotless. Used to have a dark color oil film at change interval but after 4 changes with the Ravenol it is clean oil film now at change.

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.
