Description
This 1-litre bottle of Ravenol VMO 5W40 is perfect for topping up between services or keeping in the vehicle for long trips. It’s exactly the same high-quality VMO 5W40 formulation as our 5L container – simply in a compact size that’s easy to store in the boot or side locker.
Ravenol VMO 5W40 is a modern synthetic engine oil with VW 505.01 approval, developed especially for high-load diesel and petrol engines, including many VW/Audi PD TDI units and other vehicles that specify this oil grade and approval. It offers excellent cold-start protection, strong high-temperature stability and long-term cleanliness to help keep your engine running smoothly.
Use this 1L bottle to:
- Top up the engine between services without mixing different oils
- Carry spare oil on long journeys or when towing
- Match the same Ravenol VMO 5W40 used for your regular oil changes
For full oil changes, see our 5L Ravenol VMO 5W40 listing. Always check your handbook or filler cap to confirm that 5W40 with VW 505.01 approval is suitable for your engine before use.
Ravenol VMO SAE 5W-40 is a high-quality fully synthetic engine oil developed using the latest USVO® (Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil) and CleanSynto® technology. This advanced formulation provides exceptional protection, efficiency, and engine cleanliness for both petrol and diesel engines.
This oil is particularly recommended for Land Rover Discovery 2 Td5 and Defender Td5 servicing, where VW 505.01 specification is essential to protect against camshaft and lifter wear. Using the correct oil ensures maximum durability of the Td5 engine and helps maintain performance, even under demanding off-road conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Fully synthetic, low-friction engine oil with advanced USVO® technology.
- VW 505.01 approval, making it suitable for Td5 engine servicing.
- Protects against sludge formation and reduces deposit build-up.
- Ensures rapid lubrication on cold starts and stable viscosity at high temperatures.
- Low volatility formula reduces oil consumption and emissions.
- Suitable for extended oil change intervals as recommended by manufacturers.

Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.

For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.
Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.
