Engine oil RAVENOL or Mannol
I've been using Ravenol VMP for the past year, reviews show it as a high end oil. Lots of VAG tdi people swear by it here in Europe.
Pros: high end oil
Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.
Pros: good for racing
Cons: not discount brand
I went down a rabbit hole with engine oil a while back and settled on ravenol. I get that most top tier oils are good enough but my issue was I was consuming more oil than I'd like with my f10 m5 and since switching, it is consuming considerably less oil
Pros: less oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Since my car has 120k km its high time to replace it.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touran

Ravenol is one of the few manufacturers that offers synthetic oils (not all, only those labeled "vollysint").
Pros: offers synthetic oils
Olio sempre e solo Ravenol (mi sono studiato le tds di una marea di olii e questo \u00e8 il migliore, lo acquisto sul loro sito tedesco)
Pros: \u00e8 il migliore
I can recommend Ravenol 5W-40 NDT oil, it's basically the best oil for the N57 (I assume also for the N47)
Pros: best oil
Vehicle:
BMW
I am using this exact oil at the moment and have no complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Land Rover Freelander

Cons: srednje kvalitete ulje
Vehicle:
