Engine oil RAVENOL or Mannol
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
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 Mannol 5w40 extreme or elite. Including an oil filter it means that my oil changes cost 25€. That's why I change the oil every 6k kilometers or so.
Pros: cheap oil changes
Mileage: 6000 km
I've tried Castrol, Mannol, Eneos, Petronas, Fuchs, etc, and I've never had issues. Just make sure it's the correct specification code and viscosity, which for your car is PSA B71 2290 at 5W30.
Pros: no issues, correct specification
Vehicle:
Peugeot 308
Ich benutze in meinem BMW das Mannol Legend Extra 0W-30 und habe keinerlei Probleme. Der Vorbesitzer hat es auch schon benutzt und mir empfohlen, der war im übrigen leitender Mitarbeiter direkt im BMW Werk. Wechselintervall alle 15Tkm und es passt.
Pros: keinerlei Probleme
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 15000 km
Mannol 20l Kanister auf eBay kaufen und zufrieden sein.
Pros: zufrieden sein

Currently have Ravenol EFE 0w-16 in and have use Pennzoil Platinum, Eneos, and Idemitsu IFG7. I noticed bit of emulsified oil on the dipstick especially when I run in EV mode mostly. So definitely get it out on the highway on a daily basis if possible and get a used oil analysis. I have had 3 done and all three showed various 0w-16 oils shear down out of grade and their Flashpoints decrease.
Cons: oils shear down out of grade
Vehicle:
Toyota
I was ordering oil last week to do a change, I noticed that the Mannol was half the price of every other brand.
Cons: half the price
