if this oil is an A3 oil that meets all of the Euro car manufactuers specs, then what will come of 0w-40? could this oil be the replacement for not only 0w-30 but, 0w-40 as well....? hope not as i personally like the 0w-40. although i use GC 0w-30.

Well....maybe i can shed some light here as im a Nissan Technician. FWIW... The nissan filters are NOT made by Fram, they are made in Japan by another japanese company (name escapes me.) I would go with either nissan (theres much better out there though) Baldwin, or Pure One (friend uses it on...

BTW, the other sample i was going to send in got lost in my move to me new house.

OH CRAP!!! i forgot to tell y'all my driving style!!! ARRRGHHH!! I drive prolly 60 miles a day and thru the day i run up to a highway cruising speed of 80-90mph one way and back roads the other way home. my 'syle' is basically that people **** me off in general and I pass allot of idiots on...

this is from my new (used) 2000 Golf 1.8T GL and sample was taken at 4200 miles. My sample Average Aluminium 4 3 Chromium 0 1 FE 16 14 copper 13 8 lead 1 0 Tin 0 0 Molybdenum 15 33 Nickel 1 1 Managanese 1 1 Silver 0 0 Ti 0 0 Potassium 0 0 Boron 0 66 Silicon 6 11-good ol VAG air filter...

the results are in the UOA section. took me long enough but finally got it! They say that ive bought a good engine as wear is all perfect. i drained this oil at 4200 miles and they said sample again at 6500 miles!! anyways go check it out.

get ready cause a report is coming soon for another 1.8T this time running....GASP!! Castrol 0w-30 SLX(Syntec)!. Then some LM 0w-40.

why did VW decide to stop making the W8 for the Passat? i suppose that it just didnt sell that well. too pricey for us typical americans? prolly, esp. since these same people would rather buy an Audi for the same price. I, personally, would choose the W8.

prolly Pennzoil/Shell US made. who knows which formulation it really is however w.out at least a VOA and really a spectrograph analysis. id say its either Rotella T or, Pennzoil LL 15w-40 that wally world got rid of here in the greater atlanta metro area. now that it looks like my 2 mos old VW...

i would be using either some of the Castrol TWS 10w=60 that BMW uses for its high-revving M3 engines, OR, order some AGIP 5w-50 Eurosport OR, AGIP 10w-60 syn oil. The AGIP is really priced well. However, the shipping pushes the price up to like $6 a quart. OTOH, if price is no object then id go...

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAhahahahahahahahhahahahahhhahhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH hohohoho!!!hoooooo boy! that was freakin, flipping holy crappin' hilarious! good one!

B.S.!!! if i could raise a b.s. flag, i would!!

yep, put in the 0w-40 lubro-moly in the 1.8T Golf GL today and drained out the 4000miles old castrol german 0w-30 and by its colour, it prolly couldve went longer (whats colour tell us anyway-nothing right. except the filter is doing its job at least). i WILL be testing this sample of german...

green is good from what i here from those across the pond, but id go with a BMC filter. theyre used by Scuderia Ferrari F1 in their 3 litre V-10 and some other F1 teams also use BMC. Toyota and McLaren-i think for sure about the former not so sure about the latter.

Well, for those of you whom are waiting on M1 0w-20 to arrive here in Atlanta, its here. I found it at the Advance Auto Parts store on the corner of Buford Hwy and Pleasant Hill Rd. It seems that they also have added M1 0w-40 to their shelves as well as they had it too. This store only had...

another good oil you could use is Kendall fully synthetic 5w-40 oil and its the only one thats (in their brand) a full PAO oil. i used it this past spring in my 02 protege5 and it worked great. thinking of using it after i use the 10 litres of LM 0w-40 i got for $10 a piece. also, i think, but...

i hope that everyone here knows that the Napa Gold and silver filters are actually Wix filters. And the Wix filters are actually cheaper. just a comment. i had a contact that once worked at NAPA and sure enough, they are the same.

the filters are for VAG 1.8T engines (& others int he VAG line)and are the Supertech brand from Wally World. and they were indeed only .50 cents a piece. however, i am wondering if these filters would be okay to use for say 5K miles instead of the Mann/Mahle VAG oil filters? I know the stock...

i think that youve got the engien that we Amahcans (pronounced AM-AHH-eh-cans) (you fellow american who watched wrestling back int he day will understand what im saying her- remember, The American Dream?) dont even get!! anyways, the BMC filters, i believe, are one the best out there. they...

well gee....how helpful....
