Someone posted this on one of the Audi forums and wanted to get your take on it: https://www.lubrizoladditives360.com/vw5080050900/ https://www.lubrizoladditives360.com/vw5040050700/ They made a comparison that 508 is basically 504 if 504 were made as a xW-20 instead of a xW-30 and HTHS >2.6...

Thanks for posting! I guess at a quick glance we would give the nod to Total but I guess we can't really tell what's going on behind the scenes. What else can we infer from this VOA? I actually had to look up Antimony as I've never heard of it and then read most analysis don't even test for it...

Originally Posted by A_Harman I'm not one of those people that get upset about leaving oil in a seldom-used car. Oil can't tell time. And the car is stored inside. Your UOA looks fine. The oil could have gone longer. Next, extend the OCI to 5000 miles. But you bought the car to enjoy, so drive...

I purchased 8 liters of LM 6200 Top Tec 0w20 from FCP. I wanted to get Motul 0w20 because I need VW 508. They didn't have Motul so I went with LM. When the time comes I am going to inquiry if getting Motul from them is possible since LM is so expensive. I'm going to put the ball in their court...

So this report might make a few people upset. Reason being is that this oil was in my car for around 3 years. This car is a weekend car if you can even call it that. I think in the last 2 years I've done 500 miles. It stays parked inside at my office and just doesn't get driven much. With that...

Their policy is responsible for their loses. If they wanted to omit this one particular item they could. They omitted stuff already like empty aerosol cans (which makes complete sense). If they omitted oil returns tomorrow I would still shop there. If we're not taking advantage of their policy...

Originally Posted by BrandonT Yeah the Ravenol looks really good, might have to look into that when it is available in the US. I just received my Total so I'll be sending a VOA off this week. I like it for the nice balance of highish viscosity index, solid HTHS, and low CCS. And nothing that...

Adding a little more content now. Based on this info what would you choose: https://www.ato24.de/en/blog/comparison-0w-20-engine-oils

Originally Posted by Tikka Hi Vigg I really wish I could be of more help to you. I tried contacting Audi UK but just hit a brick wall without specific vehicle details. Looking around the Audi forums would suggest the Castrol LL4 FE is the one to use. I could only find 3 VW508 oils available...

Originally Posted by TiGeo I would go with Liqui Moly personally - proven oil for German cars. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/oil-service-kit/20236kt/ $125 for an oil change 1/2x a year for a car that is v. expensive doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Thanks for the...

Originally Posted by MParr I happen to agree with you on the formulation was to meet CAFE standards. That is the only logical conclusion that I can come to. I really don't believe that using Mobil1 ESP is going to lead to catastrophic engine failure. I am going to post a link to the Mobil 1 UK...

Originally Posted by MParr Yeah, the 508:00/509:00 oil is ridiculously priced and limited in availability. After doing some research, I ordered some Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 for my first oil change in my Tiguan. I decided to use the Mobil 1 ESP based on United Kingdom oil recommendations for the VW 2.0...

I'm coming up to my next oil change on my 2018 Audi S4. I got the first oil change at 7.5K miles as comes free for the first one. I performed UOA on both the FF and sampled the second one without draining at 4.5k miles. I'm settling on 7.5K OCI as I feel comfortable with this. Maybe I will...

I also contact XOM asking about availability the other day. This was the response I received. Thanks for writing to us. For the moment, all of my Mobil 1 ESP oils have a much smaller market/demand compared to my Mobil 1 oils without the "ESP" identifier. Typically, the greater the demand, the...

Originally Posted by DuckRyder Couple points: If this is Castrol 0/20 VW508 is Castrol EDGE Professional 0W20 Long Life IV which is not the same as just plain old Edge AFAIK. I would proceed with caution, if it is worded anything like a VW manual it clearly says you may add no more than half a...

Originally Posted by Gubkin For this engine use 5w-40 ACEA C3/MB 229.51 I was playing on the Lubrizol oil spec tool and 229.51 looks like an excellent oil. Here's the thing if I didn't want to conform to warranty requirements (508 or 504) I would probably run PP Euro L. This is available at...

Originally Posted by 2004tdigls I assume that the engine is still under warranty, submit the UOA to your local Audi Stealership and make a claim, 55 ppm Copper is ridiculous considering this is probably bearing material from the turbo you can burn a lot of gas for 4%, a turbo on the other hand...

Here is my second UOA of my 2018 Audi S4 with 12k miles on the clock. This sample was taken at 4.5k miles and was not changed. My wife drives this car and has a round trip of 22 miles a day. It gets driven probably 90/10 city to highway. She does get on it pretty good as I can hear the d@mn...

I have a 14 JGC with the Hemi. Has only had PP 5W20 or PP 0W20 since I've owned it. As others have stated it holds 7 quarts. I have ran all kinds of filters on it from Motorcraft to Mobile 1 to Mopar to Fram Ultra. None have given me any issue. I have no "Hemi tick" or oil consumption or any...
