It is good stuff. 100% PAO and/or ester base stocks unless otherwise stated, and top notch additive packages.

The products are expensive in the US, but for those of us who are in Europe, they are very reasonably priced compared to alternatives.

I run Ravenol in my car, and will run it in the boats once I run out of my stash of Itasca/Quakerstate/Pennzoil 100% synthetic 2-stroke oil.

30 years ago i was at a gm parts event and warren Johnson was there, The big block chevy god, I Talked to him for a good 30 minutes picking his brain, i had so many questions my brain was in overload mode haha, we talked about oil and at the time they were having wrist pin issues, they had always broke engines in with conventional oil, they started using synthetic redline oil on break in and all the wrist pin issues went away. But we are talking 500ci engine turning 10-10500 rpm!

That must have been cool !!! ^^^^
Wrist pin oiling issues typical of pretty high vacuum dry sump systems. Modern DLC coatings used by many peeps on wrist pins. Anyway…just talking out loud.
