Engine oil RAVENOL or ROWE
ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.

Cons: a lot thick
I use Rowe as well and it's fantastic. No complains so far
Pros: fantastic
Cons: no complains
Vehicle:
Honda Civic

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
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
I use Ravenol which is 100% PAO base stock.
Pros: 100% PAO base stock
The oil i have run: VW brand, Castrol and Ravenol all 0w-20 that meets 508/509. Basically on cooler outside temperatures the oil does run slightly higher than on hotter days.
