I'll definitely up the viscosity at the next oc and double-check for any possible intake leaks. I bought this car 6 months ago and have put a little over 10k miles on it. It was a buy-back that had under 50K miles when VW recertified it. It's still under VW's dieselgate warranty for me until...

Added a half can of Liquimoly MoS2 after last dealer OC. The Pennzoil is not the sample.

This sample is of the VW oil, not the Pennzoil I just switched to. When I got the car back from the last dealer OC the first time I checked the oil it was a little low on the dipstick and topped off with a half can of Liquimoly MoS2.

This was my first UOA. Last two OC's were at dealer with factory oil and filter. New factory air filter last OC, check all intake connections. Had a new DPF installed. Sent this in to Blackstone as I did my own OC with Pennzoil Euro L 0W30. Any other TDI's with this kind of wear?

Well, that's Canadian dollars, thanks to your PM, now just slightly more valuable than the Peso :)

There's a good marine fuel additive that's great in cars and trucks. Startron Fuel system and injection cleaner concentrate with P.E.A.. One ounce treats 10 gallons. It's usually $6-$8 a bottle. West Marine has it this weekend for $4.79, buy two get one free.

The inside of the oil filter is "dirtier" than the oil coming out of the bottle, VOA proves again and again that the oil in the bottle is clean, what you have on your funnel is your own responsibility.
