vs
Engine oil RAVENOL or Total
I've been using Ravenol VMP for the past year, reviews show it as a high end oil. Lots of VAG tdi people swear by it here in Europe.
Pros: high end oil
Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.
Pros: good for racing
Cons: not discount brand
I went down a rabbit hole with engine oil a while back and settled on ravenol. I get that most top tier oils are good enough but my issue was I was consuming more oil than I'd like with my f10 m5 and since switching, it is consuming considerably less oil
Pros: less oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Since my car has 120k km its high time to replace it.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touran
Mileage: 120000 km
Ravenol is one of the few manufacturers that offers synthetic oils (not all, only those labeled "vollysint").
Pros: offers synthetic oils
Die rcp olie moet er inderdaad in, 5w30. Deze is speciaal door Stellantis goedgekeurd zodat de wet belt minder snel stuk gaat.
Pros: Stellantis goedgekeurd
Cons: snel stuk gaat
Total Quartz 9000 5w30 is a good value for money option.
Pros: good value for money
Olio sempre e solo Ravenol (mi sono studiato le tds di una marea di olii e questo \u00e8 il migliore, lo acquisto sul loro sito tedesco)
Pros: \u00e8 il migliore
Kupio sam par puta Total 9000 kad sam na\u0161ao u trgovini i mislim da je auto potro\u0161io vi\u0161e ulja nego kada ulje kupim u trgovini sa autodijelovima.
Cons: auto potro\u0161io vi\u0161e ulja
Vehicle:
Opel
Ravwnol e cea mai mare mizerie.
Cons: cea mai mare mizerie
Vehicle:
Audi A4
