Engine oil RAVENOL or Eneos
Redline 10W-60 or Ravenol RSS 10W-60 are probably your best choices
Ravenol 0w 20 if ya can afford it get a can of the flush and let it drain overnight
go for Ravenol VMO SAE 5W-40.
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.
I use Eneos on my 2013 WRX since day one.
Daca vrei un full syntetic adevarat pune Ravenol VMP merg cu el de mai bine de 15 ani la multe masini pe care le-am avut
i personally use ravenol now, but was a motul and shell user before.
Ravenol based on review videos on FB. Tumahimik makina & the tone ng engine nagiba mas smoother again based on videos lang sa FB not actual experience.
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.
I was planning to but returned it. It was listed as a GL4 oil on the website but when it arrived, there wasn’t a mention of the GL4 on the bottle. Had a look at a technical spec sheet of the product online and it isn’t a GL4 oil indeed. Ravenol is quality oil however
