Why would it run better wit 5W-40? I think it's not a smart advice. Your above mentioned choice are prohably all weaker compared to M1 ESP 5W-30 whether if DPF equipped or not. I'd keep running it. .

Yes, exactly. That change is intended to elevate the volume flow rate to compensate for the (newish to VW/Audi at that time) thinner oil. I hope so, just because you probably intend to 'affect' (improve) the engine's life. Going one or two steps thicker will never do any harm. Anyway I'd run...

Veryy most probably a different gearing for the oil pump. This is the case with my own GTI (built 7.2024 MY2018) which it's the very first GTI engine specced for VW 508 00 (0W-20) and I'd bet it's the same with your Q5. I use to run VW 504 00 (5W-30) from the beginning (less than 500 mls) and...

At least M1 Ultimate 0W-40 does exist now (CN > Chinese market?): https://www.mobil.com/en-cn/passenger-vehicle-lube/pds/ap-xx-mobil-1-ultimate-0w-40 But, Mobil doesn't advertise VW 511 00 yet. With a PP of -54°C and a VI of 201 I'd almost bet it should come with PAO (45-50 %?) and GTL...

You guess my thoughts. FB and X? 🤭🫣 Remember there is no "GLI engine". It's the same as on GTIs, several Audis, Seats, Cupras and Skodas, even basically the same as on Golf R, Arteon, Tiguan R, Audi TTS and S3 and many many more, more to count. IF the GLI had this issue they all would...

Interestingly HLS comes with BMW LL-04 and MB 229.51 & 52 however not with VW 504 00 but with VW 505 00 & 505 01 instead. Approvals: API SN, BMW Longlife-04, GM dexos2™ (Lizenz-Nr. D235AGDL081), MB-Freigabe...

'Overcharging'? :ROFLMAO: Without a generator voltage of above 14.5 V (which the generator without failure won't do) impossible. Let's stop 'guessing' please. ;) .

. No IBS (and probably no start/stop) = no AGM battery required (and no factory equipped AGM) and no need for registration. Even IF your dad's Cooper S had a IBS he could still drive with a conventional battery. While start/stop and (pseudo-)energy recuperation would impair the battery's life...

You said "fact" before without knowing. From Mannol 7919 Legend Extra 0W-30 SDS 2023: So, clearly no "PAO and POE" to speak of. Its poor pourpoint of just -40°C reveals the absence of the claimed "majority" of PAO. So, it's no less than scam. More than certain, if not to say "fact". . .

No news. In other words, I was right. Not "PAO + Ester based" which you claimed being a "fact". .

"Neat" but nothing special. Noack loss at 11.5 and 12.0 percent. Nothing to write home about. .

This. Then use dental silk, peel the rest with your fingers and use some polish. .

. I agree - forget about all API. Except for VW 508 00. I'd run VW 504 00 instead, eg M1 ESP 5W-30. .

Maybe. While I understand your propensity for PAO, however M1 ESP 5W-30 still to exhibit a noticeable lower Noack loss compared to its 0W-30 brother. .

What is "a fair amount"? Data. Numbers please. "One quart per 1000 miles" or like that. HPL engine cleaner or NOTHING and just shorten your OCIs. .

: This is a RR, not a Hyundai. I would never to renounce a true BMW approval. Preferably LL-04, maybe LL-01 (not LL-01 FE). Some 5W-30, 0W-40 or 5W-40 such as M1 ESP 5W-30, several M1, Castrol Edge or Ravenol (VMP, REP, RUP). .

1. Avoid short trips. Walk instead whenever possible. 2. IF you NEED to do shorter trips, perform longer trips at least once a week. 3. No special oil required. Better to shorter OCIs, twice a year, 3000 or 4000 mls. 20 min won't be sufficient to evaporate water and fuel from a week of...

Ceratec in your manual transmission? .

An oil temp of roughly 220-230°F (105-110°C). That's why manufacturers design engines this way. Evaporating oil and moisture and for lower drag. BUT, this temp is ideal for lower to mid engine loads. For higher loads a lower coolant and (if possible) oil temp is favourable. Your pistons...
