vs
Engine oil RAVENOL or FUCHS
When it comes to oil, Ravenol is really good and is also Made in Germany, some even recommend it over VW or BorgWarner, as it is full synthetic and does not break down/sludge up as fast.
Pros: full synthetic, good quality
Cons: breaks down fast
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Pros: excellent oil, honey color
Cons: not cheap
Mileage: 5000 km
4.5 L is the Ideal for Mazda 6 2.5 non turbo, I'm from the same country as you. I'm using fuchs titan 5w30 for two years and I recommend you do the same, I noticed quieter engine.
Pros: quieter engine
Vehicle:

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.
Pros: quieter engine, better fuel economy
Cons: none
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"
Pros: no false neutrals
Vehicle:
BMW
I use Ravenol on my 1NZ and 3ZR engines.
Fuchs Titan GT1 5w30.
Vehicle:
BMW
Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.
Pros: very good quality oil
Vehicle:
Nissan
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.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 30000 km
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
Pros: quality oil
Cons: not GL4 oil
