vs
Engine oil RAVENOL or Motorex
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
It works great, maybe a bit expensive. I've run used oil analysis and change it 3-4k miles based on aluminum wear. I don't see a reason to use something else.
Pros: works great
Cons: a bit expensive
I use Ravenol on my 1NZ and 3ZR engines.
I use Motorex semi-synthetic 4t in all of my KTM's over the years in a 15w50 weight. It has never been an issue. I have used Motul 5100 and 7100 in other bikes before, and I prefer the 7100 over the 5100. It feels like the bikes perform better when the temps rise and I'm really riding them hard.
Pros: bikes perform better
I have an Octavia 2.5 vRS TDI and it has 450k km now, it only drank 5w30 and never an issue, not even in cold winters and I had a few -25 starts and it started right away, at the first key turn.
Pros: easy cold winter starts
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Mileage: 450000 km
Just came across this. Mine is a 2024 w 31 hours. I always used Motorex but I’m trying T6 this time. I use it in all my other off road bikes. In the 2t it’s just the clutch and trans. Also I’m changing it every 10 hrs
Ive used these. Motorex was the best. Castrol was pretty good, and Shell in case the others were not available. Now at 34k odo without problems.
Pros: Motorex was the best
Cons: Shell not always available
Mileage: 34000 km
Ravenol VST 5w40 for now when my oil usage is nearly 1L for 1000km and I will probably go for the Ravenol RCS 5w40 after I rebuild the motor.
Cons: high oil usage
Mileage: 1000 km
after 2000km of running on it, i see there is quite a drop (30% from the max point). i think that is very weird...
Cons: quite a drop
Mileage: 2000 km
