...I once owned an Integra Type R...this car had to driven with anger! No carbon deposits...no LSPI...and no torque:)

...it's sort of interesting to think about the torque delivery from TGDI engines; most deliver an abundance, if not all of their torque in the ~1,800-2,000 rpm range...many torque curves remain relatively flat beyond that point. I imagine that most folks do not push their engines far into the...

...how new is the LSPI phenomena? ...is it directly proportional to higher emissions standards designs?

Well of course! ;) I read your reply as if you were suggesting a bad aftermarket tune.

So, Just bought HPL super Car 0W40 for the GTi - driven in winter when there is no salt on the road, and Super Car 5W40 for the Golf R - driven late spring-early fall only. Dave was quite help! Thanks for the recommendation 'tired'

...this car is not tuned, I was asking because it's a fairly large problem with TGDI cars...

Thank you! Both Dave Ward and David Canitz replied...HPL 0W40 Super Car it is. Re oil coolers...that's always been my worry...they are often a bottleneck. The Isweep oil pan may offer a little help, but probably not much...it holds and additional liter of oil as well The 529 kit looks stout...

I spoke with a lovely young lady by the name of Maryjane...David is out of the office, so I sent an email and referenced our discussion here. I hope to read from David soon...I'll purchase either their Premium Plus 5W40 or their Euro 5W40. Thank you for this recommendation tired...is that your...

...a related question about carbon deposits and low speed pre-ignition...

Thanks edyvw...I took a look. This might be the direction... ...reading from HPL's chart, why do the left 4 columns differentiate "Euro" from PCMO - passenger car motor oil? Meaning, what is the difference? They are all passenger car motor oils, no? NEVER MIND...I FOUND THE DIFFERENCE IN...

...it was suggested in a different BITOG to pass over the Euro and go for the Helix with PurePlus...then I went down a rabbit hole, which required another beverage :LOL:

...until now, I had never heard of HPL oil...thank you.

...fuel dilution is always on my brain, as is oil starvation whilst cornering. Who might you use to test oil? Again, my last UOA was prepared in 2007, I think. JCW Mini. OFF TOPIC - My 2015 MK7 has a new engine and turbo; oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles by VW - never tracked before...

Very much appreciated!!!

Oh! Okay, that wasn’t clear to me, but that is quite a difference. Thank you! Begs a question that I shall not ask…quality vs price or vise versa… Here is my fundamental concern. There have been so many engine failures during the past two years across a wide spectrum of manufacturers. We...
