Probably a little late to this story but here my .02 worth.. The most wear in the engine occurs during the first 1500-ish miles after a fresh oil change. That info alone should tell you what to do..

I remember seeing a member here do an extensive write up using the TDT 5w-40 Mobil 1 even though it does not have the official VW blessing/rating. I too, have been using it changing it every 5k miles. Am I still good to go with this oil? Any further updates from the poster who used it in his...

I have used Mann filters for many many years in all my German cars, including my current TDi Jetta, they are excellent filters and well made.

I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. 2nd rate filters with very spotty quality record. I used to work at a quick lube place and all they used was Group 7. It seemed like every 5th filter, there would be something wrong with it that would make me throw it away. I honestly still do not...

Redline is to Suzuki cars as Lipstick is to a pig...

why wouldn't you?

You could debate this until you are blue in the face. If you simply look at the facts, you will see that in a car like the RX7 which is designed to burn oil in its combustion process and is an old one at best.. Use the cheapest Dino oil made and watch the level, checking it at least every fuel...

if you want people to drive at 75 mph.. set the speed "limit" at 65 Same thing with oil...

In fact, wanna see something that will simply make you puke? Go to You Tube and look up OHP vs. Ambulance. You will never look at the police the same way again.

I USED to be a good supporter of police. Now, I realize they lie, cheat and are as stupid as the worst of us. They have no clue nor do they care about how they have ruined innocent lives by the their inane actions. I have no respect for them And yes, I am a white collar medical professional...

I have a 2006 Jetta TDi. It has no fancy schmancy clean exhaust system. Its extremely quiet. I run Mobil 1 TDT in it which is a 5w-40 I get 40 mpg all day long stop and go, highway combo figure 65/35 split respectively. I have no cap, no rotor, no spark plugs and no emission testing I have to...

omg... it's threads like this one that encourages oil companies to put out eleventy thousand different oil's.. change the name, mix up the colors of the bottles and voila! have a really NEW and Improved product that everyone just rushes out and buy. #1 Change your oil and filter every 5K miles...

Also, relying on the OLM is like saying that you won't look first before you get out of an elevator because it should always stop where its "supposed to"

1) teach your girlfriend how to check her own oil 2) don't ever rely on technology that does things incorrectly. The OLM is at BEST a guess.. a suggestion and until it comes with a built in laboratory in your car, its foolish to believe it 100%. 3) Car manufacturers are rolling the dice...

yes, stopping the production of the Vibe is another BRILLIANT GM idea... So now, they are left with Buick, GMC and Cadillac All HIGHLY known for their fuel efficiency and of course chevrolet who has some of the best most fuel efficient cars that anyone can make under someone elses...

I think they should use my friend as a poster boy for sludge protection. Let him use the oil ( actually you would have to change it for him since he doesn't actually ever CHANGE the oil) and then follow the results. Trust me, if the engine stays alive, its great oil! maybe then they could name...

Its a shame what BMW is doing. They used to promise you full SCHEDULED maintenance for the 4/50 time frame, but now its done strictly by the computer on the car. You MIGHT get 3 oil changes out of it.. Big whoopdeedoo! Unless you are big on the environment and feel a need to conserve ( in which...

The banks got smart, invested in oil and then became speculators, driving up the price and recouping all the money they lost. Also, because us dumb humans just couldn't resist driving our huge SUV's once again after prices dropped down really low. Toyota Prius sales dropped like a lead balloon...

I'm still wary of 5w20. I have an Mazda RX8 and only in this country do they say to use 5w-20. All other countries where they sell the RX-8 they say to use 5w-30. Sounds to me like a bunch of EPA B.S. Many rotary engine rebuilders and race car team mechanics who have taken roatry engines apart...

I'll bet ya they raise the price on everything by a nickel... or more
