Engine oil RAVENOL or Mannol
As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil
If you can get your hand on it try some Ravenol with UVSO, it's like bottled Magic. Engines run so smoothly with it, father in law thought the engine was off with it.
In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30
I've never had any issue with standard Mannol - my cars have always had it every 5k and I'm pleased with the results.
My Skoda gets fresh mannol every 12 months. No problems so far. It meets the VAG spec so all fine in my opinion.
VW recommends 505.01 for fixed service at 15k Km or 507.00 for flexible service at 30k Km. Since our driving condition is harsh, I usually cut those Km in half. Since you were pushing 505.01 at 12k I would recommend you use 507.00 5W30 LongLife for 15k to 18k to be on the safe zone especially if your runs are on highways. I’d highly recommend you check oil from Mannol 507.00, I’ve been using them and they are solid choice. It costs under 3.5k for 5L. You can fill 4.4L at change of oil and top up 200ml at 4,8 and 12k interval
First oil change at 15,000 kms. Went for Ravenol, it’s made in Germany and seemed like a superior choice.
I'm using mannol extreme 5 W 40, very good price quality.
Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.
Motorban próbáltam, azzal olyan volt a váltó, mint amikor a Motul már cserés volt. Részemről inkább nem.
