I have used Ravenol USVO DXG 5 - 30. Comes back in most of the testing I see done as excellent oil. I only drive 5k miles year here in Minnesota taking the car off the road by October 1st and not back until at least April 1st, sometimes the 15th, and once in a great while as late as May 1 based on the weather. I change the oil once a year prior to putting it away for the winter. The oil comes after 5,000 mlles out almost the same honey color it went in as.
Reviews of RAVENOL parts For Business
Germany
Ravenol user here (previously motul and shell user). So far, engine temp is 1 line lower, quieter engine, and very slightly better fuel economy. Ravenol for the Altis 2.0, yaris, and rav4.
On 2006 F800S i have used Ravenol. I tried Shell, BMW oil(Shell, basically) and Ravenol. With Ravenol- no false neutrals. At stops i was able to find neutral almost instantly... And engine sounds somewhat "greasy"
I use Ravenol on my 1NZ and 3ZR engines.
I have an Octavia 2.5 vRS TDI and it has 450k km now, it only drank 5w30 and never an issue, not even in cold winters and I had a few -25 starts and it started right away, at the first key turn.
I started doing this routinely with every oil change. Only have a tiny 1.2tsi VW though, but the difference afterwards is noticeable. Especially in terms of rate of oil consumption. These tend to clog their rings it seems.
I’ve used bg synchroshift II and ravenol mtf-2. Both are great, honestly couldn’t tell much difference between them. I want to say I lean toward ravenol but the difference is minimal go with either one.
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
after 2000km of running on it, i see there is quite a drop (30% from the max point). i think that is very weird...
