I just bought a 2008 Audi A3, 2.0T 4 cylinder with 109,000 miles. I know this is an old thread and I'd like to know which of these Castrol oils is best for my engine at this time. Thanks

I'm no expert but I suspect that the program will not work on the device with the Intel chip, however it may work on the Power PC depending which OSX is running. Early editions of OSX 10 allowed restarting the PC into OS 9. OS 9 may be compatible with your early program. I believe that OSX 10.4...

Originally Posted By: vinu_neuro Thanks for posting. What were the previous intervals on? If you are referring to the oil change intervals I usually run from 7500-8000 mile intervals.

Here's the latest UOA for my 2007 Nissan Murano. This run was on Pennzoil Platinum w/ Pure Plus Technology. The prior UOA's were PP 5w30. Since the prior oil change (5/17/14) I traveled up and down the East Coast on I-95 visiting family in NJ, VA, and Miami FL.The first trip was in June to NJ...

Originally Posted By: CBR.worm I know this is the wrong forum, but since there are two Murano owners in here, have your original CVT's held up well so far? I'm the original owner and the Murano just turned 157,000 miles. The CVT still has the original fluid and has performed flawlessly since...

Below is the latest UOA on my 2007 Nissan Murano. I used a Bosch Distance oil filter and AFE Pro air filter this cycle. My driving habits are leisure and driving long distances on interstates. I am the original owner and have UOA's since dumping the factory fill in 2007. Thanks for looking. [

Originally Posted By: INDYMAC Is the knock evident after a filter change? Or does it start again somewhere later into an OCI? How is the filter positioned/oriented on the engine? Not immediately after an oil change, although it will occur randomly shortly thereafter. The oil filter is mounted...

Originally Posted By: INDYMAC Originally Posted By: KJack It could be something other than the engine,. Like the exhaust manifold etc. Definitely check for leaks if the manifolds are factory. It could also be an ADBV issue. I found K&N oil filters to have problems before 1000 miles, and Wix...

Below is the latest UOA for my 2007 Nissan Murano. I am the original owner and have posted all my UOA's on this site since dumping the factory fill back in 07. On this cycle I used a K&N oil filter and a Wix air filter that was installed at 110,204 miles. I replaced the air filter on the current...

Below is the latest UOA for my 2007 Nissan Murano with the VQ35DE 3.5L DOHC V-6 engine. I am the original owner and this is the 19th UOA performed by Blackstone Labs. At the beginning of this cycle I installed a Wix oil filter. The air filter is also Wix that was installed at the beginning of...

The Wix oil filter # is 51356. PP (SN) was introduced with UOA sample date 08/10/11.

I was answering the question regarding PP use. I didn't respond to the Blackstone comments on the report.

Originally Posted By: RedCorvette Have you always used PP? They say that you have low wear due to longer than average ocis. So frequent oil changes are bad for engines? The UOA's at 80014 & 88086 miles were with Castrol Edge 5W-30. All other oil changes before and after those 2 cycles were...
