@Trav Does you quote means, you know nothing about the difference between "GL-4+" or "GL-4/GL-5" and GL-5? (the both first are the same stuff) Molakule has a Ingenieurbrief. Therefore I dont need to argue with him... @Bjornviken Rowe is not a oil. Its a brand. By the way, where Rowe is overrated?

Units from the time, there was not a GL-4/GL-5 oils? The old standard 50150 as G50, for 75W-90? But yes, I like also Ravenol. Except using pure Rowes Topgear S 75W-80, I have mixed in ours garage a few times for tuned GTIs 5 and 6 with MT, MTF-3 and VSG in 75:25. Thats in no case worse than...

Originally Posted by Trav Yes, their MTF2 seems to be very good in VW. I mean 75w-80 from Rowe not from Ravenol. "MTF-2" is GL-4, what I have dont understand... With so many "excellent" and "otustanding" in the description, that cant be GL-4/GL-5, like MTF-3 or Topgear S 75W-80? Why? In a MT...

Originally Posted by Bjornviken Pretty low pao content in Rowe. Says who and where? @Trav Great PR gag. I dont know whether Castrol piloted or not, but great. Thx for entertainment. Know you HC base oil for PCMOs in finished product, that is not "pimp" with PAO or Ester? What ist ok, what good...

Originally Posted by ZeeOSix You got that right PT. Mention 0W anything and their eyeballs roll around in their head and they start the old "too thin of an oil" speil. Silly bellyaching. The first grade are never a problem. 0W or 5W are in regions with cold winter always ok. Second grades and...

Originally Posted by BMWTurboDzl The "love" for Ravenol is that their label explicitly states PAO. Much like ROWE. And Ester. Not so much like Redline, but more than Motul in car oils But does not bring 75W-110 in non-HC Rowe have for me FOUR extraordinary excellent products. The both Synth...

Originally Posted by bluesubie A lot of European Subaru manuals that spec 0W-20 also allow ACEA A3 5W-30's. Therefore, my question for 0W-30 229.5 (ergo, A3)

I think the "thickness" of 0w-30 or 5w-30 GF-5 are ok.and good enough. But thicker GF-5 have for me louse Noack. But wait… What technically against 229.5 0W-30? Buy a Redline SI-1 (litle bottle), put 30ml to each tank. Test it with 95 (EU) fuel. Its dont mutate to Aral Ultimate or Shell...

Originally Posted by Trav You miss the point, the label must be truthful in Germany, its the law. If it is labeled full synthetic then it is full synthetic. You are calling me a liar? That is factual information. REAL bottle labels in Germany? No problem...

@paoester HDX? HTHS 3.4, nearly all right, but >10% Noack is sadly not a revelation... But I see also, many many other GF-5 on the market are much worse @Albs Wow. Scary. Are you last night burgle in my home and tap my brain? Excellent post. Great. Quote Car enthusiasts say that the 0w20 is a...

Originally Posted by edyvw What is difference between 5W40 and 0W40 at KV100? a) Fresh or 1000 miles before OCI? b) HTHS â KV c) What about average temps at KV87/95? d) What about HTHS and oil dilution?

Originally Posted by Trav [Look again at the edge bottles before claiming its not correct. The A5/B5 is HC the rest are full synthetic. Click on the picture for each one and then view image. You will see for yourself...

Originally Posted by Trav Not by a long shot, it is considered a mid grade product and certainly not one you would pay a premium for. First NO. Quote Most of Castrol Edge offerings in Germany are full synthetic Second NO. The reaminder are a correct viewpoints.

Question of the week: What is full quote and why its nothing for you, because its only for bone idle crooks? @edyvw A bit thicker (and still approved) base oil for 2.0L engine with 288 hp and 280 lb-ft its not a craziest idea. Right? Why not? Because its still the oil, which lubricate. Not 1...
