M1 Euro 0W-40 is over 3000ppm also for Calcium from the recent VOA posted here. Also, most of the oil VW has for my S3 (Turbo 4cy) has Ca close to 3000ppm (2500-2900ppm) including their own branded oil.

I have many other plots that I have for Oil and Fuel milages. Oxidation from the VOA was around the same so I assume for Ravenol it's higher side. Also, its been a year in the oil pan and not very many miles so would not be surprised. Plan on changing it out in the coming weeks - probably Motul...

Below is UOA for my 2016 Audi S3 8V (EA888 Gen 3 Engine) with Ravenol RSP 5W30 oil. Oil was in for little over a year and almost 5k miles (less driving this year). Looks to held up decently. Iron littler higher, but iron block and PPM per 1,000 miles is in line with expectations. Also the PQ...

I am gussing its Mobil Super Synthetic Euro 5W-40 as its newly on the webpage and no real info out on it.

I have posted VOA for 5w40 https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/5467322#Post5467322

Below is VOA of the new VW OE Oil (P/N: GE555401QDSP) 5W40. Also included chart of all other VOA I have done when choosing oil for my 2016 S3. I do not have any Mobile oil VOA so be interested to see how this compares to off the shelf and may run it to see how it goes. Polaris VOA...

I have gotten a bottle of the 5W40 and sending it out for VOA tomorrow, will post the results.

VW/Audi in the newer cars have a packet Of silica in the expansion tank to supplement the coolant as the silica is used up. The silica is to protect against aluminum corrosion.

Originally Posted by FordCapriDriver Interesting that there are Phosphates present, G13 isn't supposed to have any, just Silicate + OAT The new G12 Evo ( TL-774-L ) that was introduced in 2019 does however add Phosphates to the Silicate and OAT. I am wondering if the dealer topped it off with...

Originally Posted by splinter Looks solid. That is a fine engine. ~4,403 miles in eleven months? Might need some good driving! Yeah with only having a 7 miles drive to work and not typically using the S3 on the weekend it does not get used often. Originally Posted by faltic Aren't iron...

Below is Polaris Coolant Analysis on my 2016 Audi S3 with 40,500 miles. Coolant has not been changed and serviced by the dealer regularly. I think a service or so ago they topped off the coolant with concentrate thus the higher than 50/50 concentration. I sucked out all the coolant in the...

Below (Line #9) is my latest UOA for my 2016 Audi S3 with the EA 888 Gen 3 engine. Oil was dealer build, believe it to be Castrol 5W-40 oil. I have changed it out to Ravenol RSP 5W30 for this oil change. All looks to be falling within spec for wear when looked at PPM/1k miles. Fuel dilution went...

VOA for Ravenol Racing Super Performance RSP - 5W-40 Oil Batch: 17401500 Date: 26.10.17 Thinking of using this in my 2016 Audi S3 that asks for VW 502 oil. Only item flagged and something I need to do research in or get info on is the Sodium at 19ppm being flagged - being used as an additive...

Looking to change up what I currently use in my 2016 Audi S3 - PP Euro 5W40 or Ravenol SSL 0W40. Thinking of trying possibly a 5w30 (knowing it will be thicker) and some of the Ravenol "racing" line - Ravenol RSP or RUP (5w40). Have done UOA every 5k miles and are good (see past posts) but dont...

Anyone used GWR Silencer spray on rotor hubs to keep them from rusting? I have new rotors for my S3 coming in and wanting to paint or us this on them to keep them looking fresh. http://www.gwrauto.com/silencer/index.html

I decided to go with Ravenol as I got a pretty good deal on some oil as a friend of mine bought a good amount also just wanted to try it out. I have looked at Castrol 0W-40 and do have a VOA of it in case i go that route next time. The Fe dropping was a bit of a surprise and I have see EA888 Gen...

Changed the air filter right after this oil change - was the stock air filter on their for 20k miles. Will see what the next oil change shows in terms of Si values.
