My V6 beater used to explore local deserts and Sierra Mountains which still ran great blew the head gasket. Having the heads resurfaced and gaskets replace. Cost $1000. Reasonable, fair, expensive? Thanks.

From oil club de. Tested March 17, 2021.

I have 3 different (VW 502.00) 5W-40 Euro Oils in stash I use my Golf. None of those oils contain any Mo. Is tungsten disulphide used instead of Mo in some oils as anti-friction additive and therefore no Mo needed? Golf takes 6QT of oil. Would it be ok to mix 5QT 5W-40 and 1QT of RL 5W-30 to...

Here are the individual oils and 50/50 mix properties, detergent and antiwear additives. I assume that the base oil types of those two oils are similar so I applied alpha coefficient 1.000. If they are quite different the numbers could be slightly off. Someone with understanding of SDS could...

It's hard to tell what or whom to believe. Most major blenders of oil readily found in WM and other online sites have incomplete or missing data on oil properties in their PDS. One might say, if the oil is approved and falls within the API or ACEA properties range then you good to go. But there...
