I’ve got it in one of my cars - a 2004 Mitsubishi Verada (Diamanté), with a 6G74 engine, but it only does about 2000kms a year so I’m probably not in a position (at least not for a while) to comment on its cleaning power. And the engine is already very clean, except for a bit of golden varnish...

“Removing dog smell from inside of vehicle“ - Buy cat.

Well I mean, we all have our minor prejudices against certain things..but to call us BIGOTs is a little harsh 😆

I’ll give them a guarantee of my own - I positively 100% guarantee I will never be doing this. (Leaving oil in for that long..)

Great common sense move!, everyone on scene would have very much appreciated that! 👏 👌

Trust me, this phenomenon is worldwide..I was a police officer here in Australia for over 20yrs..the amount of times I had roads closed for collisions/crime scenes etc..all with barricades/tape and a marked police car with a message on the back of the roof mounted light bar flashing ‘road...

“has incredible lubrication performance and low resistance addition to the stable viscosity and oil film that are characteristics of non polymer type oil.” That’s some next level gobbledygook.

I’m in Australia and to maintain new car warranty, the car has to be serviced by a licensed mechanic. I do have an oil extractor however, and will be changing it at the six month mark in between dealer services. I work on my other older cars myself :)

That’s the exact reason I supply my Audi dealer Mobil 1 ESP x2 for my ‘24 A4 I also ask them for the remainder back, have them note the EXACT oil on the invoice in case of any issues down the track and I check the dipstick (which i bring with me..car only has the plug in the tube) before I...

Yep, I dumped some Mobil 1 ESP X2 in my ‘23 Audi A4 last month. Definitely green/blue…and definitely golden after a week or so..

I’m guessing you drive a late 90’s corolla 😆

(Australia) 2023 Audi A4 Avant 45TFSI Mobil 1 ESP X2 0w-20 OEM Mann Filter (HU6013) 2004 Mitsubishi Verada (Diamanté) Valvoline Restore and Protect 10w-40 Ryco Syntec Z411ST

I tend to agree. I run this in my ‘23 A4 45TFSI and going by the engine data from my OBD11, the oil is up to operating temperature very quickly.

My ‘23 Audi A4 45TFSI has this as well. Strangely however, it consistently reads 15-20° Celsius less than what the OBD11 reports when probing engine live data. I suspect this (the dash gauge reading lower) is deliberate to (attempt to) discourage hard driving prior to the oil being given the...

It would be nice if they made the innards of these easily serviceable with a screw on cap or something wouldn’t it? I had a situation where I took mine out to clean around the area it sits in, and charcoal came pouring out of one of the vents when I laid it on its side Luckily I found a...
