Hi yall, not long ago i posted an oil sample in another topic. Long story short. Old 97 Audi receives brand spanking new engine unit (not rebuild) and for break-in oil was used this http://www.pqiadata.org/AutoZoneSAE30ND.html Oil was used for 500 miles break in process. Every manufacturer...

I don't know. A feel like they should reinforce it or something. Too many heavy vehicles around. Originally Posted by DB_Cooper Beautiful car and the oil choice looks fine. Is this that Cabriolet that got a new factory short block and cylinder heads to bring the engine to like new condition? If...

I forgot to add this is the oil that i believe was used. http://www.pqiadata.org/AutoZoneSAE30ND.html

Hi. The letter I attached below is what I sent to Blackstone with my oil sample. Its pretty well explained what the story of my car is. I usually buy always the "full synthetic" oil. Its just makes me feel better. This particular car and engine set up is proven in the audi community to run very...

Next time ask them to just check out the next (after the 2.0tsi) engine filter. Its cartridge. I think 2013 VW Jetta 2.5 5 cyl uses it. For now the purolator are the same story like this - made in germany. Also possible to be the unupdated part. In my case the store had both of them. go figure

On other aplication probably. There could be so many. But purolator is owned by Mann so on many cases you would have like here - not just rebranded or reverse engineered filter but made by mann as appears probably on the same production line I should get the purolator one and see whats inside...

Thanks the 10600 but which of them you mean? they are 3. And why Mann and purolator are not the same? Purolator classic is 1:1 with MANNexcept the paint outside

Hi guys. I have posted this in another forum (VW specific) but it is important. Have seen here some people having doubts if the Mann made in Germany is better than Mexican or American made filters. But appears that it country of manufactoring depends on the car/engien the filter is made for. For...

You nailed it. The water pump is an issue. But it does not apper on models after 2013-14 i believe. Or At least was updated of some sort. It sounds catastrophic to have coolant in big quantities in the oil but We also have a 2012 Lincoln Mkz with the 3.5 non turbo and the pump sure did fail. The...

Tcp71. Its not underpowered at all. I wish you can try. This engine is high rpm so power is great. For the new o e is even better 77 grand prix Ok but does this mean the Valvoline has no moly at all?

It's synthetic I forgot to mention because I use by default only so called "full synthetic" oils in all my vehicles Also I will ask if you know where will the molybdenum will come from in the oil sample?

Hi folks. I have been reading the Bob forum for years but never posted. I have couple interesting and rare oil analisys to show. The first post will be from the oil analysis on July 2017. My next post will be from the current oil analysis but it will be in few weeks. The oil analysis here is for...
