vs
Engine oil RAVENOL or IDEMITSU
Even Ravenol, which is pretty expensive since it is made in Germany from Group V base stock. Great stuff.
Pros: great stuff
Cons: pretty expensive
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
Pros: oil temps went down
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
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.
Pros: helped massively with smoke
Cons: still small puffs
Vehicle:
BMW
I think Idemitsu is the better option if you have access to it. Mostly because it was developed for the rotary engine.
Pros: developed for rotary engine
Cons: hard to find
I go with 10w40 Ravenol TSi
Idemitsu to both, because it’s designed and tested on rotaries.
Pros: designed for rotaries
I use idemitsu rotary 20w50
I stick to Idemitsu. I have a Sohn adapter fitted, so it's 10-30 Idemitsu in the engine, twice a year and Idemitsu Premix in the Sohn adapter and in the fuel tank.
Pros: idemitsu in the engine
I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.
Pros: 100% PAO base stock
In Germany we driver Ravenol RCS 5w-40 and Archoil 9100....sick combination. i drive it in my c63s and gle63s and volvo S60....
Pros: sick combination
