I think the Ravenol VSE 0W-20 is a good performer, based on these tests.
So, I recently drove 2 oils: NGN Emerald 5w30 and Ravenol VST 5w40. I watched the oil temperature displayed on the route book display in different modes, but there were no problems with the temperature.
I used Ravenol VST 5w40.
I bought this unusual oil made in Germany Ravenol NDT 5W-40...my truck has never sounded or performed better. I was hearing a little bit of top end noise at idle and that's complete quieted with this oil, as well as throttle response and overall smoothness of the engine and turbocharger increased greatly.
Nothing but the best. I personally use Ravenol. I have a bew and very particular about our because of cam issues. I would only substitute this for liquid Molly.
I just ordered the ravenol after watching a youtube channel (sergiu gabor) where ravenol yielded the best results of simulated wear indication tests against various oil brands.
Has anyone here tried Ravenol yet? I've been using Liqui Moly's TOP TEC 6200 VW 508/509 but read around that this oil below is also good if not better.
Ravenol VMP (best oil hands down for diesel).
I have been using the Ravenol VMO 5w30 formula that you can get through Blauparts.com, I have reduced oil consumption in my 2.0 TSI by using this oil.
I ran either Mobil 1 or Castrol VW Spec oil in my 08 2.0 TSI and had the usual high burn off with no visible leaks for 1st 100K or so and then switched to Ravenol VMO VW Spec oil I buy on line for a premium price but I like the fact there is little burn off in 5L change intervals which should equate to less carbon buildup in the upper intake of the heads. I have not done an oil analysis which would be helpful to know if I should be waiting to 7,500 or more before I change filter and oil. I had the misfortune of a valve spring breaking at 125K that lead to the head being removed and rebuilt at VW Dealer, the head mechanic was amazed how clean engine was (Mobil 1/Castrol) and the honing lines on the cylinder walls could still be seen indicating very little if any wear. I'm at 156K and burn about 1/2 quart every 5K and engine is as tight as Day 1 with APR Stage 1 Tune
