In the end, my interest in Ravenol oils has diminished.
Yeah, this IS disheartening, but I do want to try their PAO/POE 0W-20 DFE formula for next winter's OCI, once it is finally available HERE, as I cannot see it being any worse than the
supposedly majority PAO base stock, M1 0W-20 EP in the sump right now.
Did someone say they are no longer going to bring DFE here? I contacted them last summer and was given a crazy quote to import it and they said it should be available by Fall of 2018 in the US. A few months ago I believe someone here stated they spoke to RAVENOL and they were told they decided not to bring it to the US.
As for the VOA.....Either way, this situation looks bad. Either they are dishonest and knowingly put the wrong oil into the container or so disorganized they didn't realize they put the wrong oil into the container. Either one is not confidence inspiring.
