- "Same"? Obviously you feel extremely certain . . . :ROFLMAO: PAO? Little to none. MSDS says UP TO 15 percent. Add pack? I strongly doubt it's the "same", but I'm no expert - unlike to you. However, we're still talking about the use in a Mk7 Golf R what requires VW 502 00 and/or VW 504 00. .

Time for a small 1/4" torque wrench perhaps. .

M1 ESP P 5W-30. Different brew. Different approvals. M1 ESP without 'P' but with VW 504 00, MB 229.51&52, BMW LL-04 will remain. .

I'd consider 214°F as eminently 'cool'. Yes, you're ok with C20 in particular your engine oil temp doesn't exceed say 240-250°F or so. - if Porsche recommends C20 (0W-20, virtually same as VW 508 00/509 00) you're entirely ok with it - I'd almost bet Porsche also allows for Porsche C30...

. So you're saying, before a delivery inspection you always warm the engine up. Right? .

Oh, I think you do. 'A little of anti-seize' won't be 'vaporized', but it probably partially congest your catalyst with its tiny fine pores. Not really desirable. Diminished flow, diminished power and increased fuel consumption. .

Removing bloody nine screws are a PITA to you? Actually? I retrofitted 'splash shields' to several cars. Why? The engine bay will remain noticeably cleaner, so I bet belt(s) and generator will live longer, lower drag, less noise. Why not? Just to save to remove nine screws? .

. Yes, the cowling/lower windshield is a high pressure area. For this reason the cabin inlet is sitting in this place. And that's what I tell for more than 15 years. Leave that rubber seal alone. .

Not for the GTI. - Mk.5 Rabbit (Golf) >> naturally aspitated 2.5 inline 5 (manual or slush box) - Mk.5 GTI >> 2.0 TFSI (EA113 and from 2008 up EA888 1G); manual or DSG NA markets only. .

. Granted, I used to use some tiny bit of anti-seize in the past. My old Porsche 930 is a different question, just because it's tech from roughly five decades ago. However I don't use it any longer with my own newer cars. Just two of the reasons to me: BMW TIS for Mini R50/R53 and R55, R56ff...

Two and a half cylinders? :unsure: Seriously, which 5-cylinder? NA (Golf Mk.5 and Jetta) or TFSI (RS3 8P/8V and TT-RS 8J/8S)? On a side note, VW offered Golf GTI Mk.4 with 10 valve and 20 valve 2.3 VR5 engines next to 1.8T versions for European markets. .

Only Mobil knows, we're doomed to speculate. Basically a 0W-40 will need thinner base oils and a significantly more amount of VI improvers over some similar quality 5W-30. Mobil's decision. For some reason XOM decided for 0W-40 instead of 5W-40 for their ESP offerings. Basically yes. This...

. Your reasoning? .

. Worse shifting from 1st to 2nd isn't desirable as it inevitably leads to the suspicion this RL MT-LV comes with less than ideal FMs (for your MQ350/02Q transmission). .

Most probably no gain at all using M1 ESP X4 0W-40 (Porsche C40 & VW 511 00 like M1 ESP X3) over running common VW 504 00/C30 just like M1 ESP 5W-30 for the vast majority of engines. Marginally higher viscosity at 100°C, marginally higher HTHS (when Virgin-like only!), but at the same time also...

. Yes, Fe and Al are a tad high even for a Diesel. However . . . . I don't remember Pennzoil Euro L 0W-30 coming with 742 ppm Mo! :unsure: .

. Don't blame yourself, but it's simply very most probably your region. Try using a proxy server. -

. Skoda - same poor wordings like VW's manuals. Maybe just because from 2007/2018. VW adjusted VW 504 00 requirements several times in recent years and most recently in 2022. Like mentioned VW 504 00 use to come along with MB 229.51 and 229.52. DPF equipped 1.9 TDI engines don't came with...

VW 507 00 supercedes and exceeds VW 505 01 - in particular if based on the OP is living in the EU or UK (ULS diesel). .
