OldSChool, tell Mori to "take it with a grain of salt." He likes that! LOL

According to Mann: W940/25 - 2005/06 longitudinal 1.8T only. W719/30 - up to 2004 longitudinal and 2006 transverse 1.8T. [ April 19, 2006, 02:04 PM: Message edited by: G Peen Jr ]

14.5 PSI = 1 bar 14.7 PSI = 1 atm

__ 917/30 -> 940/25, +13.7 oz (.43 qt) 930/21 -> 940/25, +6.4 oz (.2 qt) Yes, but the oversized V6 filter proposition is less appealing.

Let's take a look at Purolator filters. For 1.8T I4 L20252, 06A115561B, 25-35psi L30257, 068115561B, 20-25psi For 2.8/3.0 V6 L25401, 078115561J, 30-40psi It appears that the J filter has greater bypass pressure than either B filters. And, the oversized 1.8T filter that some folks like to...

Please feel free to check the Mann-Hummel Online Catalog Thanks! You got a PM back.

Wrong.

Mori, Here it is: For 1.8T W719/30, 06A.115.561B, 2.5bar, 76x123mm, LL, Orig1.8&EarlyAAH/AFCV6. W940/25, 068.115.561B, 2.5bar, 93x142mm, NotLL*, Newer1.8&Diesel. For 2.8/3.0 W930/21, 078.115.561J, 3.0bar, 93x114mm, LL, LateAFCV6&NewerV6. (*)not stamped as Lanzeitfilter on the filter...

Castrol 5W-50 used to be moribundman's second favorite gilded drink. ;-) It worked very well in his Audi SOHC V6 engine, but he has renounced it - another disciple of oil marketing fanaticism. Just kidding mori! ;-) All kidding aside, C 5W-50 works very well in older Euro engines.

Mori, may you have another 122k miles like the first! Just stay away from that M1

> It worked fine when I posted it, I doubt it. Take a look at the URL - there's an extra comma. Remove it and all is well. ;-)

Mori, it appears that you don't understand the point I'm trying to make. GC is a high-tech 503 01 oil that also happens to be 502 00 approved. BC is specifically a 502 00 oil - a blend. With your logic GC is a typical SL oil since it carries the SL approval. BC (a specific 502 00 oil), and...

Mori, I would agree! Mori, _I believe_ even you would agree that it would be better to reduce oil consumption from 1qt/1000 miles to 1 qt/2000 miles or less. I never said that consumption should be zero. Please read more carefully. Similar discussion As with other discussions in the past...

Mori, that is correct. Most 500 00 _specific_ oils were synthetic blends or HC. Yes, many non-500 00-specific group 4/5 oils were approved for 500 00 too. GC is also API SL approved. Does that mean SL requires a fancy ester-based PAO? Obviously, no. Also take a look at 500 00 oils that exist...

BC 5W-40 meets 502 00 approval with a unique formulation of group 3,4,5 oils and an additive package that is high in Mg - 1000 ppm. I believe this is the preferred oil for many Audi/VW engines with low-tension rings that can't scrap Mobil 1, GC, and other "real" synthetic oils off their cylinder...

STF. Gold is SLX Longtec - it meets all the same specs as green.
