This (Chrysler) is what happens when a manufacturing company is run by MBAs rather than engineers. On a broader level it's the story of the American corporation. Just ask Boeing! --yup, logged in just to say this;)

Ravenol VMP 5w-30 changed twice as often as Audi says so this will give you an OCI of 5,000 miles(y)

Absolutely nothing different. My routine is pretty type-A. My best guess, (and really just a guess) is that with a bit of age and dirt on the air filter it became slightly more effective at capturing particles from the air. I haven't so much as opened the air box since I've owned it. I'll test...

To really know I'd have to run the RL for a few more changes. What you see in that 15K sample is only the cars 2nd oil change. I left the FF in for 10K as Audi calls for. So that run of RL I believe had a lot of break in left in in.

I've come across this table before but the one I saw didn't have the Top Tec 4200 on it. This must be an updated version, thanks for posting. The Top Tec is working well in my engine. My main impetus for considering a change to another 504.00 oil is that I may tune the car, thus putting more...

I have no clue but TBN depletion as far as I know is not linear. Why would I want to calculate % of depletion?

My 4th run of Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w-30 in an Audi A4 2.0L gas engine. 70% highway. The last two samples sat for months in their respective collection containers but that shouldn't have effected anything. I plan to stick with 5K intervals and though I'm happy with the oil, I haven't ruled...

My run of Liqui Moly Top Tec 5w-30 for an interval of 5,127 miles and ~7 months. 70% Hwy 30% city. Also did a TAN this time. Code Miles on oil 5,127 4,971 5,435 Universal Miles on Unit 25,027 19,900 14,927 Averages...

The only time the Keto diet has shown any long term efficacy is in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy that has been refractory to anti-epileptic medications. I know people like it because of the weight loss... There are even a few docs on board with it(and many more who oppose it). You will...

If interested my top tec UOA is posted now. I'm impressed with it. From everything I've read the VW 504.00 spec is pretty tough though so I imagine any oil with that approval is above average.

Here are the results with my run of Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w-30 in my 2.0L TFSI Audi. (A VW 504.00 oil) Use was 70%hwy/30%city. I replaced with the same oil and same filter (Mann). I'm impressed with the results for iron especially as they are well below universal averages. Also happy with...

Originally Posted by faraway TopTec 4200 is an interesting option to pick in case of good discount then. Also, Castrol Edge 5W40 has Porshe A40 approval. I saw it for 82-84$ for 15L for Christmas deals at Costco. FWIW, I'll have a UOA result back within a week of the TopTec 4200. It was a 5K...

CKN, You laughed at the idea there was such a thing as 'dealer installed swirl marks'. I don't mean to be rude of if you have to be educated on the colloquialism....well of course you wouldn't spend that kind of money on this sort of thing. Fair to say it's outside your area of interest. Value...

Originally Posted by parshisa I think your guys is full of this. If there's a damage in coating - it cannot be repaired, it has to be polished/compounded off and re-coated. And it is not a couple of hours on hard german paint. Hope you did get what you paid for ridiculous 2000$. Well you at...

For those curious the image link below is a picture taken of the cars hood after the paint correction was done and coating was applied. The image you see is my garage ceiling reflected onto the hood. It is so clear it can play tricks on the eye. The only down side is maintaining such a high...
