I just saw this in playboy, and it looked very interesting, but I dont know how good it is in actuality. http://www.getg.com is the website, but if it gets blocked, try searching for g oil and you shall find it. Anybody have any other info about this?

I just checked the Mobil website and for some reason the pour point is not listed on the 0w-40 oil. I cant believe I am doing this, but it is really strange that it is not there. I know that people on here discussed the pour point relevance to base oil, and I dont want to jump to conclusions...

Hey everybody, Here is my friend’s UOA. He asked me to post it on here. It was done by Oil Analyzers Inc. He drives a 2005 Dodge Ram. Cummins Engine, 5.9 L. Oil used: Amsoil S3000 Syn HD, 5w-30 He actually uses his pickup to its full potential. Towing a huge RV, trailers, off- roading...

Here is my latest UOA. New Fuel Filter was installed just before the oil was put in. FP3000 was used at each fill up. Prior to this UOA FP was not used, or not used each time. FP60 was used a couple of times in other UOAs, but on this one FP3000 was put in every time. Fuel was usually purchased...

I made this thread so I wouldn't completely hijack the persons thread where this started. Most people with VWs know that there have been specific complaints about the 1.8T engines. Main complaints were from Passat owners, so I ended up taking some pictures from my car, which uses the same...

Here is the latest. I dont know what the deal is with the fuel dilution, but the Synpower and the MObil 1 did not have the issues. It seems that GC is having the dilution issues. My driving habits have not changed at all. Weather wise, there are drastic changes of course. Winter weather we are...

I will be going to Germany at the end of July and figured maybe I could pick up some oil to see what the Europeans have been using. Of course, I will have to consider transportation/ shipping limitations and prices, considering the Europeans are paying some crazy prices for their oils. If...

My local dealer started carrying it and I was wondering if anybody has an MSDS or can find one or if they know what group the oil is. I was mainly thinking about the 5w-40 Racing synthetic. On the back of the bottle it says 100% synthetic, but considering that they have a separate Repsol...

I was wondering if LC20 was recommended for this application and if it affects the clutch in a wet clutch application. I think that for the next winter it would be beneficial to add the LC20 if it can be used. Anybody have any experience? LCD, I couldnt find anything on your FAQ regarding...

Car: VW GTI 337, 1.8T AWP engine Oil Used: Valvoline Synpower 5w-40 Miles on Oil: 5641 Driving: 90% highway, 10% city Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, OEM VW Oil Filter, New OEM Air Filter, FP60 used throughout except for the last three tanks. First Value= Current UOA Second Value: Unit/ Location...

This is just a question, because I have seen some reports on other forums about the new Audi A3 2.0T consuming 1-2 quarts over 5-10K respectively. People on the forum are saying that it is not big deal to loose 2 quarts over 10K, but considering the oil capacity is 4.7 quarts I think it is a...

Car: VW GTI 337, 1.8T AWP engine Oil Used: Castrol Syntec 0w-30 (gold) Miles on Oil: 5302 Driving: 90% highway, 10% city Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, OEM VW Oil Filter First Value= Current UOA Second Value: Universal Averages Third Value: Previous GC Sample @ 5041 miles Aluminum 2 - 2 - 2...

I posted this in the genral forum and only receive done response, which did not answer my question completely. I just did an oil change (GC) and wanted to know since I used a magnetic drain plug if the sample would be even worth sending in. I might just send it in, because last time I had a...

After I changed my oil today I looked at the drain plug that I put in at the last change and I could see that the tip was completely covered in small metal dust. It was very apparent after I wiped the drain plug. I was about to send my used oil to Terry for an analysis, but was wondering how...

I was thinking about throwing in some gold when I go back to NYC for a visit. Let me know what you guys think, since the car has only be driven with dino up til now. The car is a 99 Golf MKIV with a 2.0 engine. It has close to 50K on it, and has been using dino which was changed every 3-5K...

I have been trying to locat ethis supposedly available oil. I have been looking for the 5w-40 Euro formula, but have only been able to come across PP 5w-30. It seems that 5w-40 is hard to find to begin with (except for Syntec) and calling Pennzoil proved uselss, since they told me to call my...

I dont know why the fuel is higher. The only thing that I used was the Fuel system cleaner, otherwise everything else is the same. Mobil 1 0w-40 is on the right side.

Here is the latest UOA. The one on the right was Mobil 1 0w-40. The current one is GC (Gold). I dont know why my Fuel number is higher, since I am on the same driving habits, which is about 90% highway. The only thing different was that I used a fuel system cleaner, which might have affected...

I ask this because a guy on the vortex was told by the dealer that the 505 01 oil, which they will put in his new 2.5 car is the "upgraded " version of the Castrol Syntec 5w-40. These are the dealers words, and I never heared of such a thing. I am very skeptical about the statement. I...

I was wondering if anybody is running 10K plus OCIs with Amsoil. 15K, 20K? I ask this because on the other forum, people that are using Amsoil are saying that they can go up to 25K with the oil. If anybody is running that high of an OCI, do they have any UOAs as well?
