I've got a 2017 VW Tiguan that's almost out of warranty: almost exclusively short-tripped so I do the oil changes at 5k. Engine requires 502 spec oil. Would switching to a 504 be 'better', or not worth it with my short OCI?

Was at the dealership this morning and peeked under the hood of the cars in the showroom: one of the cars I looked at was an Atlas V6. The tag under the hood called not only for VW 504.00 but also 0w-30. I have not before seen on the tag under the hood on a VW where they've called for a certain...

A relatively short OCI: I run almost exclusively short trips and stick to 5k changes. Shorter this time so I could test the oil. Previously M1 0w40 FS has sheared pretty quickly. New engine, so I'll just post the oil numbers and leave out the wear metals (which were fine). SUS visc. 66.9...

I have seen reference to A40 not allowing xW-30 weights, but other than that...

Html: Did a fairly short run in the wife's Audi. Almost exclusively highway miles- the M1 0w40 FS held up much better than it it did in the Tiguan daily driver. Actual Average Aluminum 2 4 Chromium 1 1 Iron 15 27 Copper 3...

Picked up some Pentosin 5w40 for $2 per quart today at Autozone. It carries VW 502/505/505.01 and ACEA C3, but not A3/B4. Thoughts on running this for a 3-5k OCI in a 2.0t TSI?

All- thanks for all of the knowledge passed along on BITOG. Here's a link to my last UOA comparing Castrol 0w40 and M1 0w40 FS. bobistheoilguy.com

Only real difference in performance between this and the Castrol seems to be the viscosity. Code: OIL M10w40FS Cast0w40 MILES IN USE 4.8k 5k MILES 64.5k 55k SAMPLE TAKEN 2/4/17 6/11/16 ALUMINUM 3 2 CHROMIUM...

I change the oil every 5k as I only get highway miles maybe once every 4-6 months- everything else is extremely short trips around town. Have been running Castrol 0W-40 for several OCIs. The first number listed is from my UOA, second is the average as reported by Blackstone. Aluminum 2 // 4...
