My 2018 Audi SQ5 is due for fluid changes of the drivetrain. I'm wondering what is the recommended fluid for the ZF 8? VAG-branded is stupid expensive, so I'm already considering just using ZF's own Lifeguard 8, which is probably exactly the same oil. I'm not asking for the cheapest oil, but...

Before I get jumped on about warranty, I've always advised staying with the spec so you don't have warranty problems. What is making me reconsider this is the last UOA I did, I had considerable fuel dilution in my Audi SQ5. Probably winter related, but it concerned me a bit. I'm trying to find a...

Did my first UOA. This the third run of Castrol VW508 and had 9k miles on it. I was a bit concerned that in that time the oil level never dropped below max whereas before it would use 1/4 to 1/2 a bar. Right near the end when I did a 600 mile road trip it dropped about 1/3. I feared that might...

Looking for a top quality and performance grease for wheel bearings. Something that not only performs it's function as a grease well, but also has a good add pack for corrosion, rust, etc. Currently I'm considering Mobil 1 Synthetic and Schaeffer's 219 (don't hear much about it here though)...

This is the second run of Ultra, forgot to sample the first one.

Just bought a Chrysler 300S and I don't find many options for filters, especially not at the "high end" on the shelf from say Bosch D+, Mobil 1, or Fram Ultra. There is however a PureOne available so I here is that compared to the Mopar part. Pretty simple filters so not much difference...

Here is the first UOA on my Dakota with 156k miles on it. A little background I used M1 5W30 and a Fram XG filter the entire life of this truck until about 18 months ago. Then had two oil changes with Valvoline Synpower and Puralator P1 filter, then three changes with Pennzoil Platinum and P1...

2009 370Z, 16514 miles, 3056 miles on this oil. Bought the car used a couple months ago, so this is my first UOA. I have the service records and it has been all Nissan Ester, including the one just prior to me buying it. Switched to Castrol Edge Titanium during this change out, so we'll see how...
