Yeah it doesn't look good. I wonder if my mechanic put 5W30 instead of 5W40? The Golf 2.5 can take 5W40 or 5W30.

No work done. I believe it was caused by the previous pump I used to extract the oil before switching to the one BL sells.

Hey guys, Here's another report for my Golf, using VW 502 approved oil this time. I also changed the viscosity to 0W40. The first report was with April Euro 5W40 and the second one was with SuperTech 5W40. I'm happy the viscosity stayed within spec this time but the wear increased a little...

Yes, Canada.

It's Walmart Super Tech 5W-40.

Really happy with this oil. Especially the TBN. Just wish the viscosity didn't drop. Thoughts?

What about Castrol Edge and Pennzoil Euro? I know Canadian Tire has them on sale sometimes too.

I'm really disappointed. This oil change was not cheap either ($125 CAD). My previous garage used Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5W40. I'm thinking of going back to that oil.

I think I will buy the extractor that Blackstone Labs sells for my next sample. I had never heard of this engine oil either. It's the oil my garage uses. A small company in L'Isle-Verte, Quebec makes it. I'm not a pro but the results don't look too bad to me.

Nope. Do you think the high silicon might be because I used a cheap Amazon fluid extractor to get the sample?
