. All A4 B8 and B8.5 run VW G13 (BASF G40, probably Zerex G40) from factory. Virtually everything VAG from ~2008 to ~2018. VW G12evo from ~2018 on. .

Price or not? "Fact"? It isn't. If there's a "fact", it's a scam. The answer: Btw, what "Legend"? Mannol doesn't have any heritage to speak from. The vast majority of forum members didn't knew this brand before, say, five years ago. See my signature and you'll have the current approval...

. 'The letter G followed by a bunch of numbers' is a part number for a fluid like 'G 052 527' and 'G 060 175', followed by A1, A2 etc (just the size of the container). The corresponding 'specs' are 'TL 525 27' and 'TL 601 75'. .

Same with VW's I-3 1.0 TSI. No balancer shaft. Up to 115 HP and ~150 ft-lb per liter! To me the main issue with 3-pots, in particular turbocharged, is vibration at the flywheel. As a result it requires a significantly stronger and heavier dual-mass flywheel. High rotational mass makes a...

I have owned more than a dozen of German cars with a turbo charger and I never ever had to replace one single water pump, timing chain or turbo charger. For many years I thought Germans are notorious scaredy-pants. Now I think Americans are even worse milquetoasts. That let to a huge question...

Yes, you're not worng and yes to your both other questions. Anyway, I love plastic cores. They don't rust (I tend to stock oil filters), they provide marginally lower flow resistance and they burn after use (disposal). .

. You should mention brand and type specifically when you claim the above. I do know there exist some 0W-40 with an 'increased' (whatever it means) content of PAO (group 4), but I'd say it's the minority. The vast majority of 0W-40 is mainly based on group 3 including GTL. Not to forget, I...

https://bimmer.work/ .... outside of Europe. Virtually no BMW runs LL-01 or LL-01 FE in Europe since mid 2000s. .

Which PCMO is composed of group 3 only? Which PCMO is composed of group 4 only? Which PCMO is composed of group 5 only? Please tell. I'm waiting for you. .

. We all agree wear metals are exemplarily low - no less than excellent! I'd bet if this EA888 3G would wear a toothed belt instead of a chain we'd see ~3 ppm Fe. Virtually zero. Even silicon: 6 ppm matches a virgin oil. This air filter works well! Notwithstanding the above I think 10.2 cSt at...

. Exactly. There's no reason to fear a non-starting engine on the road due to a battery not adequately charged. Nonetheless I use to to disable start/stop on any new car. Right from the beginning since I find it disturbing, but not because it'd fear me. .

. I bet Audi allows for VW 504 00 alternatively to VW 508 00 with your 1.4 TFSI EA211 (pre EVO). That said I'd definitely run VW 504 00. The thicker viscosity will never cause any harm. On the other side, thinner oil such as VW 508 00 (0W-20) may cause or even will increased wear if the engine...

. Thanks for sharing. M1 FS 0W-40 after <5000 mls >> 0W-30? Because Blackstone? :unsure: .

Nothing new, not at all. Fairly common question. I even remember some similar questions a couple of days ago. For example: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/mk7-volkswagen-gli-change-viscosity-after-tune.376849/ A non issue. Keep using M1 ESP 5W-30, keep motoring. As mentioned...

Pothole or curbstone. No. .

Why not just run the same VW 508 00 on both cars?

. We're talking about 50 ppm sulphur, not 500 ppm. .

. Get a VOA done after ~10.000 km or max 15.000 km. .

. 32 psi is ok 34 psi is ok 36 psi is ok Volume, not section! More exactly, volume provides load capability. That's why heavier cars run bigger tires (taller and wider). However, there's way more to suspension adjustment, tire choice and tire pressures to any manufacturer. This task takes...
