    2022 Volvo S60 B5 AWD - UOA - First oil change ~9200 miles.

    This is my first oil change on the car. Driven relatively hard in AZ heat (after ~1k miles). I was curious about 0W20 and the 10k OCI. Seems to be alright. Thank you to Volvo Cars of Gilbert for excellent service. The car has been great. I will be getting a 2023 soon and will probably dump the...

    Nearly $2k water pump/thermostat housing at 65k miles considered normal for EA888 Gen 3?

    So apparently the EA888 Gen 3 is known for this. My GTI and one of my Passats both smell of coolant and weep from the water pump area. The job is not easy and nearly $2k if I want a shop to do it. Intake has to come off, so why not get it carbon blasted as well. Ugh, how can this be acceptable...

    Use of VW 508/509 0w20 in a 2017 502 ea888

    I'm out of warranty. Doing my own oil changes since the dealer is backed up. Can I use the 508 spec oil in 0w20 on my 2017 ea888? These 508 oils seem to have extremely impressive numbers. Assuming similar prices I don't see why I shouldn't switch. Am I missing anything? Anyone wanna chime in?

    Pennzoil recommends Platinum Euro LX 0w30 for Jetta 1.4 TSI?

    I was playing around with the oil selector tool on the Pennzoil website for my 2016 Jetta 1.4 TSI and I noticed they are recommending the Euro LX 0w30 ACEA C2/C3 formulation. Isn't this a "low SAPS" diesel type oil? (yes I realize it can be used in gasoline engines) I guess I just thought this...
