True. People literally go around and compare rod bearings just bcs. On another note, while both engines are derived from P84, P84 was spinning almost 21,000rpm's. There are a lot of things that needed to be changed for street use.

I always tell people that they never flew on an airplane until they fly with Russian crew in organizations like UN etc.

Do not do flush! Do replacement of fluid. Release fluid and add the amount that got out. Did you change the filter? Also, what transmission Genesis uses? Is it ZF, Aisin etc? And like others said, no additives!

Could very well be.

Bearing tolerances on S65 are pretty tight. Something else went south here.

Something went wrong here with design. Rod bearing in S65 have tight tolerances and XW50 should be maximum. However, BMW from get go went with 10W60. There are numerous topics on this subject and a lot of people run 5W50 Redline successfully in this engine. But, from everything so far, it seems...

I am not saying you should go non approved. We are still talking approved VW oil, basically thicker VW504.00/507.00. On Audizine I know where it is gonna go: Rotella, Delvac etc.

Sarajevo neighborhoods from Ottoman period are built on 14-16% grade if not more in some instances. People climb with FWD all the time, snow tires mandatory in the country. Absolute champion in climbing? Golf II diesel. I climbed every single pass here in winter with VW CC, Blizzak LM60. Is it...

No reason to deviate from VW504.00/507.00. But, some of VW 511.00 look really good. If you decide to track, absolutely W40 grade.

The new one has CVT? Oh HELL NO!

Towing? yes. Space, minivan still better.

Nope, cannot match Sienna, Odyssey etc. I was renting a lot of them when worked at university in athletics. Traveling with athletes, all the equipment? Minivan easily the best choice compared to anything unless we are talking Chevrolet Express, E350 etc.

VW511.00 is specifically developed for RS and S models, Porsche with GPF etc. It is used in Europe for specifically those models. Now, is VW504.00/507.00 do a good job? Absolutely. But, if your S is seeing highs speeds, track, etc. I would go 511.

LOL. If they only new better stuff available in Wal Mart.

German car? Oil filters: MANN, MAHLE or Hengst. No deviation from that whatsoever IMO.
