. Where are you based? Your coldest winter night dictates what 0/5/10W-X is required. Generally anything Euro spec, say VW 502 00, VW 504 00, MB 229.5, 229.51, 229.52, BMW LL-01 or LL-04 (true approvals). If so, it doesn't even matter if it's 0W-30, 5W-30, 0W-40 or 5W-40. The 30s are actually...

Why even ask then? I'm under the impression you don't want to read different opinions, just kind of self-affirmation instead. .

When your vehicle with anything pad will set launch an unbelted passenger through the windshield your brakes are rubbish. .

. Yes, Castrol do make solid products while Penrite and Ravenol are somewhat boutiquish. However they both make some exceptionally high-class engine and gear oils with costly ingredients: Penrite Ten Tenths and Ravenols R line. Edge vs RSS: density 0.853 vs 0.859 (suggest the lighter/thinner...

. Btw, Mk7 GTIs came with either 140 A or 180 A alternators depending on equipment (eg heated windshield) from factory, Euro spec at least. Apart from this I think 140 A should be more than adequate even with heated seats, lighting, AC and electric power steering. I never noticed any issues...

. Low sulphur fuel > LL-04! .

Another vote for LL-04 and M1 ESP 5W-30. I do run it on two of my cars currently (despite the Mini will get Ravenol REP 5W-30 next, with LL-04 too). .

^this The only factory in Europe producing EA888 engines is sitting in Györ in Hungary while Salzgitter makes EA211 (1.0 - 1.5 TSI) and EA288 (TDI) only. .

. Ideally VW 502 00 AND MB 229.5 AND BMW LL-01 (and maybe Porsche A40). That said anything VW 504 00 AND MB 229.51(52) AND BMW LL-04 (and maybe Porsche C30) would be fine too, but these are XW-30 and I'd prefer some 5W-40 in your particular case. Proper oil (with true approvals, not just...

Explain the "benefits" for use in car engines please. I think you have given answers to your own question. "specifically designed for air and liquid cooled compression ignition diesel type piston aviation engines" Isn't it quite easy to understand? I bet we have talked the same questions...

. Simple answer: anything VW 502 00. Where are you based? Eastern Europe? Location matters with regard to oil offerings. .

Which exact "aftermarket aluminum oil pan"? American made or far east? There's some chance the mating surface isn't at an angle of 90 degrees to the bore and thread. Next, your not so soft Al washer couldn't compensate for the present deviation. Keep using ~20 ft lbs please because aluminum...

. Help us please. Where sell "Magneti Marelli" and "Goodyear" engine oil? Obviously not in North America. If you live in Europe grab any engine oil with true BMW LL-04 approval. .

Yes apparently. However, what's your own perception before and after? Numbers on paper are one thing, the more important is how it drives like. Yes, to some extent oviously. Yes, generally. In your case marginally perhaps, depending how I understand "your situation" correctly. Did he even...

Scott, "SHW" I guess. SHW is an OEM supplying to Audi, VW and BMW. "SHW" = "Schwäbische Hüttenwerke" https://www.shw.de/en/sectors/brake-discs/

Normal, unavoidable. Just ignore it. Yes, simply. .

Which issues with that plug? :unsure: .

Very nice story. (y)(y)(y) I recognized Jane Goodall immediately. :whistle: .
