Ok all, just curious if theres any merit to doing an oil change in my brand new 2016 jetta 1.8 tfsi (EA888 gen 3). Ive had it for about 1200 miles now and Im tempted to do a change just to get the bits from initial break in out of the system and such, but wondering if that's pointless. Plus, I...

Does anyone know where the entire TV broadcast will be played? I think its on fox sports 2, but it only looks like a few hours. Will that be the last half of the race, with an intro recap? Where are you all watching it?

Usually someone posts the pre-race info etc... but maybe thats just for F1. Does anyone know where there will be a full live stream of tomorrow's race? I know 7-9 am you can catch probably the end on Fox Sports 1 I think (maybe NBC sports?). More info is appreciated!

So they are an online retailer with really good prices for some of the oils I use. Anyone have any issues using them? Just want to make sure the prices dont indicate rebottling oil or some shady practices. http://www.rmeuropean.com/

Does anyone have the numbers to make a definitive comparison between the two? I have used m1 0w40 for a few intervals now and its a good price. I just would like to know if better 0w40 options exist. ...And before fights start, Im interested in just comparing these two, not bringing penzoil...

Ok, so I made a switch about 6 months ago to M1 0w40 european for my 07 Audi s4. Great oil for the price and my UOA's seem quite normal on 4,000 miles OCI. However, I noticed consumption I did not experience before. Its around .3qt/1000 miles. Small, but still there. I used LM 5w40 religiously...

So I was watching this extremely unscientific comparison of oils here he pours out the LM at room temp and its black, stating its because they add MOS2 to it off the shelf. Is that true? Sorry if this is common knowledge...

So I was browsing these http://www.oildrainvalve.net/ez-oil-drain-valve-ez-106-14mm-1-5/ And I definitely like the idea. You still use a crush washer if you used one before, right? Any leak problems? Do you think its worth it?

So I noticed after reading my own UOA and others with the same grade or different grades, theyll reference in the comment "averages are based on 4400 miles" or "Averages based on 5300 miles" or whatever. What are they referring to? Averages on your engine? Averages on your brand? Averages on...

Just curious. Many Audi's do. Whats your make/model? Mine is a 2007 Audi S4, OEM is Hengst/Mann. Because its top mounted, it just comes by itself with the paper filter element, right? Not in a metal canister? Theres mine, easy to get to (not my dirty filter)

So I did my first interval of M1 0w40 after religiously using lubro moly 5w40. I sent my first analysis to blackstone and the results are HERE I did see if they could offer much insight as to why the burning occured on the m1 0w40 vs the LM 5w40. The best I can do is run another OCI My...

So this is my first analysis, and my first OCI with M1 0w40. I did notice a minor amount of burning in 3500 miles, refilled some, and changed it out at 4,000 miles total. I did not notice consumption with LM 5w40 but Ive been told it can happen when you change brands/grades. I sent them a note...

So I sent off my first UOA to blackstone today and Im awaiting to see how the M1 Ow40 fares... I think it should be just fine. However, the scary part about my engine (2007 audi s4) is that the block is sleeved with Alusil (aluminum x 80% and silicon by 20 I think). Scored cylinder walls from...

So I have used mobil 1 0w40 for one OCI (4,000 miles) so far and Im doing the second oil change on it in a couple days, before I send it to be analyzed. I was reading the VOA of it and everyone was arguing about it shearing into a 30 weight.... Is this supported by anything? If an oil shears...

So Im on an overnight shift here at work and got to thinking... How does someone building a custom engine determine what type of oil to use? How do they analyze metal compositions used in different parts to make their determination? Or is it more based on application? Induction system? Every...

Hello everyone. Great to be posting on this forum, in a world of knowledge I never gave much thought to until recently. I look forward to learning a lot in the future. I have a multi part question but here is the background info... I have a 2007 Audi s4 (4.2l v8) with 56k miles on it. Oil...
