Sorry, but you need to take a course in statistics. A single data point has zero degrees of freedom and is thus worthless from a statistical viewpoint.

Abaolutely no question. Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP. It beats all the others hands down.

I'd like to mention a couple of concerning points. 1) Both of the Test Oil reports mention excessive fuel dilution, yet the fuel dilution fields show 0%. 2) Once again Blackstone is making up their own values for oil grades. 40 grade has a cSt 100C of 12.5 - 16.29, not 10.2 -14.3.

One of the things I dislike about Blackstone Labs is they make up their own values for viscosity grades. They claim that the 100C cSt viscosity for a 40 grade oil is 11.6-14.5, when in reality, SAE defined 40 grade oil as having a 100C cSt of 12.5 to 16.29. Given that reality, the Amsoil has...

Stumbled across this beauty on the Internet. It is an oil funnel that attaches directly to the oil fill port in place of the cap. It seals so the oil doesn't get on the engine. After it's on, you have both hands free to add oil to the engine. It comes in several versions, depending on the...

Do you know that for a fact. That EVERY SINGLE PART in both engines are identical.

Hey, don't argue with me. I'm simply quoting from an article in enginebuildingmag.com.

oil is too thin and want to move up to a 30 or 40 weight oil for "better protection" might want to consider this: "Contributing factors that can cause oil pressure and lubrication problems in an engine include: 5. Bearing clearances too tight for the oil viscosity being used. Late model...

Always start your search at Tire Rack. That way you can find an inexpensive tire with good reviews.

WLS Chicago.

You've got some shearing in that report, so, if it were me, I'd stick with 6000 mile OCIs.

100 psi air gauge.

I'm pretty sure Audi's beat that with a combination direct/port injection system. Most of the fuel comes from the direct injection, but a small amount comes through the intake pore, washing the intake valve.

The S3 is an awesome sleeper vehicle. 0-60 in 4.6 sec and a top speed of 140. With the right tuning, you should be able to get RS3 performance out of it. You should still have some warranty left, so, if it were me, I'd wait until the warranty ran out before doing any tuning on it.

These threads are stupid. Reminds me of a bunch of 11 year olds saying, "show me your latest marble". Why the hell would anyone care about what some stranger put in their car?

Awesome report. Whatever oil was in it and whatever filter was on it, keep doing it. The number one rule of oil analysis is, "If it works don't mess with it."

You guys are talking about good beers. The ABSOLUTE WORST BEER IN AMERICA is Grain Belt.

Yes, I called them and their answer was basically "That's the way we do it."

Except I don't think that is accurate. Every other VW 504/507 oil I've looked at has a cSt 100C of between 11.9 and 12.18.
