Right here. Seems to be working well actually.

Not sure on that, but 7.91 is the quoted KV @ 100 for this oil, per Idemitsu Idemitsu's quoted KV @ 100 for their 0w-16 is 6.866 so there is a considerable difference.

Frankly, I think all oil additives are at best, unnecessary wastes of money, and at worst could actually cause harm. Modern oil is very good, but furthermore it is an engineered product. It's not just thrown together at random, it's precisely made and balanced for a specific purpose. With the...

Magnatec seems to give very good results in turbo engines. Ford ecoboost engines in particular seem to really like it. Good stuff, especially for the money,

Some guy on the Russian oil forums is running this in his old Lada as an experiment, and it actually seems to be working out quite well for him. Not something I'd do, but interesting none the less.

Originally Posted by blupupher Define best. Cost vs performance, highest filtration, best flow, thickest can, longest interval, etc. For me, there is no best. I will use many different filters, with price being a higher priority than most things. For me, the Fram Toughguard used to be a...

Originally Posted by MoneyJohn I have used Goof off successfully. Dab a microfiber towel in Goof off and wipe off gently. No elbow grease needed. I was worried if it will cause some paint issue but it was alright. My car's paint is silver though. I use Goof off often, because I have to deal...

Valvoline European Vehicle meets the specs and should be widely available now. Other 508 oils are late in coming, but Valvoline is out there and not that expensive. It meets the spec so it would be a perfectly suitable oil for your use.

Acetone is going to be WAY cheaper than Berrymans and should work for this use. Just fill the tank with it and let it sit for a while.

Originally Posted by aquariuscsm Where do you buy the Zepro oil? Amazon. There are two varieties. Zepro Advanced Moly has even more moly than this oil, at around 700 ppm or so, but it also tends to be more expensive and has a worse NOACK rating at 14. It's neither SN+ nor Dex1 rated, it...

If I was going to switch over, I'd do a 0w30. Amalie and Pennzoil make fairly cheap varieties. I think the Amalie carries some euro specs, too, so it's probably good stuff. Pennzoil's 0w30 is the "max power" version, which is probably VERY similar to PP, If I had to guess. Maybe more moly?

Originally Posted by Gordon_Schumway Fantastic. One last question because I honestly know nothing about oil. 0w30 can be used even though 5w30 is recommended ? Is there a downside? Thanks so much Assuming it meets the VW specs, it will be fine. One nice thing about those specs is that while...

Originally Posted by haggler This looks exactly like the thailand mazda filters, except with an ADBV. The Thai Mazda filters are manufactured either by Denso or by Toyota Boshoku (Toyota's parts division, think AC Delco or Motorcraft) or possibly, by both, depending on who has the capacity at...

Forgot to mention, as well, that this was a Wix 57002 filter. Some people seem to think they're not good, but I think these results show they work fine. Replaced with a OEM Thai Mazda filter (probably Denso made) because it was actually cheaper than the Wix this time around.

Originally Posted by JustN89 There's nothing to see here, imo. 3 ppm above "average" is next to nothing. The viscosity did shear down a bit, but at this point I don't see any reason indicating that you have to make changes. I do agree that you have some fuel dilution happening. If it were my car...

Originally Posted by haggler Looking like a decent amount of fuel dilution, probably higher than what Blackstone says. Your viscosity is towards the low end of w20 and flashpoint low. What is your percentage of city vs highway driving? Do you short trip a lot? This is precisley why I'd rather...
