Amsoil 5W40 Euro vs Ravenol VST 5W40

[FranklinJL]

700hp C63s. Phoenix AZ. Just about all Euro 5w40s work for this motor, but I like to try different oils lol

No such thing as a bad mb 229.5 licensed oil. Run any of them with confidence.

However, there’s no need to run anything else as you’re already using a top-tier premium lubricant…

Ravenol has a bit better low temp qualities and higher HTHS.
Either would be fine.

Ravenol fan-boy here...

I use Ravenol 0W30 VSW in both my '21 Audi SQ5 Sportback and '23 Audi RS5 Coupe.

5k mile OCIs and I've posted the UOAs for both vehicles on BITOG.

Why not the 5w40 in the RS5?

I too am a fan of Ravenol. I use Ravenol VMP 5W30 in my ride.

Well, since my RS5 is 1 1/2 years into the 4-yr/50k mile warranty, I don't want to deviate from the VW 504 spec for on the 2.9L TT V6. As my SQ5 is 6 months from the 4-yr/50k mile warranty expiring, I decided to deviate from the VW 508 (0W20) spec and go with the VW 504 (0W30) instead. Overall, the 0W30 in the 3.0T TFSI V6 in my SQ5 is contributing to a quieter-running engine.

Right on, do think the 5w40 will be better for wear numbers unless you live somewhere freezing. I've got a rule.....any Euro car making more than 400hp gets a 40wt oil lol
