vs
Engine oil RAVENOL or PETRONAS
Petronas is a pure virgin oil.
Great for UAE road and climate.
I personally use Petronas oil or petromin oil.
Great performance and good mileage getting.
Pros: great performance, good mileage
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
I use Ravenol on my 1NZ and 3ZR engines.
As a 2015 Abarth 595 owner here in the UK I tried Petronas Syntec and have to say the little fella seemed to like it.
Pros: engine liked it
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
Even Ravenol, which is pretty expensive since it is made in Germany from Group V base stock. Great stuff.
Pros: great stuff
Cons: pretty expensive
Petronas Syntium 5w 30 on a mercedes and audi a6. No complaints at all, and good price
Pros: good price, no complaints
Vehicle:
Mercedes
I used to have castrol but since i chiptuned my octavia i switched to ravenol and the oil temps went down a good bit and it doesnt use any oil but that could also be because the old oil was 0w20 and the new one is 5w40
Pros: oil temps went down
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Last month I replaced the valve stem seals and it helped massively with the smoke. It doesn't really smoke much anymore, there's definitely still small puffs when taking off quickly, but nothing that I can see in the mirror.
Pros: helped massively with smoke
Cons: still small puffs
Vehicle:
BMW
I go with 10w40 Ravenol TSi
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
