I'm 2k miles into a new 2024 Audi A4 Allroad. Been using AMSOIL exclusively for last 25 years, so it's their recently added 0W-20 VW 508.00 for me.

I'm new owner of a 2024 A4 Audi Allroad. I'll be using AMSOIL EZT formulated for VW 508.00.

Car has been in seller's garage and not driven much. Fuel dilution level is abnormal.

Sorry, typo in Subject line. Should be 300, or .3K miles.

Looking at buying this car, so took oil sample, which seller had never seen before. Analyst flagged fuel dilution and nitration. Viscosity at low end for 30. When I called fuel dilution to his attention, seller said his mechanic says "No problem - they're all like that." Me, I think there's a...
