yeah heaps of ppl in the USA and europe have used ravenol
people were quite convinced it was the same stuff, then some stories started surfacing about cars not behaving properly on it. who knows if it is coincidence or not!

I'm getting hold of one of the aftermarket fluids shortly.
will do a detailed compare and contrast, and see what's what.

Hey Adam, interested in this - how are you going to do a comparison?

If anyone has samples of each oil type I can compare viscosities - I work in a polymer lab so have a bunch of viscometers. This is probably pretty important.

Regarding composition, I can't get definitive compositional breakdown (we don't have the GC-MS any more :( ) but I can do an FTIR on different oils - this will show us if they are wildly different anyway.

I could also do a thermal analysis on it as well.

Combining all this info will show us HOW similar the different oils are. I wont be able to say 'this oil contains x% of blah and y% of meh' but, if two oils are identical, I should be able to show this.

I'd be happy to volunteer a bit of my time for the wider EVO/RA community if it will help us out.

What you all reckon?

Nicholas,

I reckon that's bloody perfect!

Happy to donate a sample of Motul's DCTF and a donation for the comparo.

Nothing beats empirical data.

Nicholas - done mate
I'll send you a few samples.
And if we have the Motul aswell - i'm going to tip everything you get is the exact same thing :)
if we can confirm it in a lab then that is all sorts of awesome.


Geoff - what is the price on the Motul? I'm wondering how it compares. approx RRP is fine if you got it cheap you don't have to disclose! PM me if you prefer..

I am looking at fluids from Castrol and Martini.
I have already looked at Pentosin FFL 2 and FFL 4, SSP Gold. And Willall. No need to test any of them :)

Hi Adam,

$30/L mate. Standard retail from Autobarn.

I have been trawling the forums and am none the wiser as to the "answer to everything".

Happy to be a guinea pig for on-road testing.

Merlinised RA with turbo back Turboxs exhaust, boost pill, etc.

can your pour a little on a white plate so we can see the colour please?
I'm going to do this too for the others as soon as they rock up
Guessing they will all be a rusty green. but then I wonder if some companies will add a dye to the fluid to try and confuse us all...


RRP on Martini is 165 per 5L tin RRP or something like that. so about the same price as Motul.
Castrol is hard to find but can be found for a bit less.
