Anything with polyether amines (PEA), and Red Oil SI-1 appears to have the highest concentration of PEA than most of the others. Or just get the Valvoline Fuel System Cleaner at O'Reilly's, another PEA product, although technically Red Oil contains more.

The amount of Seafoam he used represents 0.7% of the sump capacity (1.5 oz in 208 oz). I can’t emphasize enough how LITTLE significance that is to the engine, its longevity, or any potential damage done. And to assume that any damage was done is silly in itself – I’ve used MUCH larger...

Non-vehicle-specific recommendations. “Warm” or “cold” are not explicitly mentioned. CASTROL: “Park the car on level ground, wait a few minutes for the oil level to settle and pull out the dipstick which is usually on the side of the engine.”...

The unopened, sealed packaging was designed to protect this no-shelf-life product as long as it sits on a retailer's shelf, whether that's 5 months or 5 years.

I'm not sure, but perhaps it's due to good ol' "holes." Knitted/woven fabrics are like a wooden lattice for ivy to grow over -- there's gaps between the threads. One interesting thing to try might be to take an old, threadbare shirt and spread it out on a sunny day and see how much light gets...

52 MPG ain't nuthin'! My 2008 VW Passat will easily top that. On downhills. At 12% grade. With the engine turned off, coasting.

Good point. The car becomes almost undriveable in humid conditions like rain or snow without a defroster!

Isopropyl Alcohol / IPA / Isopropanol / Propanol doesn't seem to go Itchy & Scratchy with aluminum or common automotive seals, per these compatibility charts. Shorter version: They're friends. http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/_downloads/ChemGuide_8677-P.pdf...

Assuming the Champ PH48 filter has a bypass valve, even if somehow clogged or was blocked catastrophically, the bypass valve would hypothetically allow sufficient (unfiltered) oil to allow for sufficient engine lubrication. As far as the dealer blaming the filter, I can say, "My dog caused last...

I drove an aging 1995 Audi for two years with the heater core bypassed, no problemo. Only problem was driving up in the mountains when it snowed on ski trips -- having to wipe down the inside of the windshield every 30 seconds with a rag (literally!) was NO fun.

What the heck, if you have a single, in-the-tank, low-micron filter that has a LARGE surface area/capacity so that it will last several hundred thousand miles before clogging, then "It's all good" as far as I can see, another maintenance item turned no-maintenance. I don't miss Zerk fittings...

I had a 1995 Audi that also had a stubborn lifter tick, but conquered it by using repeated motor flushes and solvent additives over a year, a few times at double-concentration, until it went away. The car and engine were old by that point, so I figured what the heck and rolled the dice with the...

I believe the VW filters have traditionally been made by Mann. Hengst filters are also good. All are acceptable under the warranty terms. I agree with the 10K oil change sentiments, although in your case you suggest your driving is 60% city. That MIGHT trigger a "Severe Service" category, per...
