this is ON A 00 golf 1.8t that has a boost controller on it that runs about an average of 10psi. will keep yall updated. BTW, this is GC gold

I know its no earth shaker or anything but.... Im almost 4K miles into this drain interval and I have NO consumption whatsoever!! Just like it was with the old green GC. So far so good! Also, its been hotter here than at any other time ive ever ran GC in my 00' Golf 1.8T that has a boost cont...

not a big deal really. its in a 00' golf 1.8T with a boost cont. running approximately 10psi rather than the stock average of 5psi. (peak is about 11 psi) so far after about 1500 hard miles (and very hot too as well as alot of idling with air on.) I have had NO oil consumption. Almost every...

also add to the post subject: other questions that can be answered with a search Please!!! Do NOT post about whether or not its okay for your engine to use GC! There is more than enough info on this site to tell you. Secondly, if your engine specs a 5w-30 or a 10w-30 or even a 5w-40 then, you...

well...i just drained out the last of my green GC and will send off for a sample soon (low on cash right now). I poured in 5 qts of Gold GC and in 5K-6K miles we will see how it does. i know this isnt a real big deal but, i know some of you want to know how it does and my engine IS a good...

I have worked so much recently i cant remember if i have already posted this or not but, here it goes.... Right now im at like 2500 miles into a run w/ green GC. I was going to go next (to test it) w. BC 5w-40 for summer (see how it holds up in the hot southern weather) but, now im thinking of...

A TBN of 11.4 after 9000kms of service? Wow, id say that really is a good oil! Sounds like they prolly have a good operation.

have yall smelled this stuff? holy crap its gross!

Just thought Id let everyone known that after 2K miles with the BC 5w-40 (just thought id try it on a whim since i got it for like $4.20/qt) and i still have zero consumption. im also using that rediculaous oversize passat 1.8t oil filter of which, i dont like. the construction seems no better...

I have come to the absolute opinion that the BC 5w-40 (Belgian Castrol) is a PAO ester oil. Of course this is based upon my highly specialised knowldege and experience in the field of tribology b.s. and I have ascertained with my highly rfined ollifactory that this oil is in fact a PAO ester...

is it Molybdenum Di-Sulfide or Molybdenum Bi-Sulfide thats used as an oil additive? Im a crime scene tech and we use Molybdenum Di-Sulfide to develop latent (ie. fingerprints) on objects like styrofoam. odd looking stuff too. grey like powder that mixes with water and oddly, when cleaning up in...

I saw earlier that there is(was) speculation that castrol is moving production for this oil from Germany to here in the USA, land of the fake Castrol synthetics. If anyone has proof please advise us as my 1.8T loves this oil and if its leaving us (the German version) then im gonna pull a...

found this. kinda interesting.... http://rolos.nature.com/news/2004/040920/full/040920-2.html

well..i just used sea-foam for the 1st time ever in a guys car im working on and used it in the engine oil (as specified) to clean the engine a bit. the rest ill use in my old beater. ill let everyone know what i think about it when i drain the oil out of both.

I ask this question (although Im sure its not even answerable with 80% accuracy) because it smells NOTHING like Delvac 1 used to and, it smells just like Syntec!! You know, that soap-like detergent odour? weird....also, no super syn logo on this oil as i know all of you are aware. i guess that...

okay, hre it goes. i only did 4K miles this interval rather than the recommended 6K odd mile from blackstone labs on my last sample. reason i did this was to try and give some sort of comparison (although i admit very little) between the two samples. however, even though both samples have the...

When i first tried Rotella Syn. 5w-40 over 1.5 years ago, it smelled just like Castrol's Syntec branded oils (at that time. excluding GC). We all know that odour im sure-theres really isnt any. Its a very clean like odour. Pleasant actually. anyways.... I used it yesterday in my dads 94 maxima...

i just started at a BMW dealer as a tech and i can get the TWS Castrol 10w-60 for a really good price. its $10 per litre for the public and alot less for me so.... should i mix one litre of this TWS 10w-60 with 3 quarts of GC or just try the Shell Rotella T Synthetic is was going to run? (ive...

YES!!! i used caps in the title to show my excitement!!!! Its here in Winder, GA of all places and the best part is.....its $7.98 a quart! Thats almost what itd be if i ordered it and paid shipping!! the 5w-30 was long gone but they had everything else but, 5w-40-the one i wanted. ive got a...

which one? just the cheapest i can get (within reason) anf du it after 500 miles? or could i run a diesel 15w-40 oil? i was thinkning that delo 400 would not work as well as say delvac 1300 due to a better base oil? my reasoning is that if delo 400 is most comprised of group II+ and delvac...
