    Just switched to Redline 5w-30. The sky is falling

    Originally Posted By: addyguy Seems like a lot of people on this forum just recently have started using Redline oils. I know they are great oils, it's just weird to see so many people using a 'boutique' oil all of a sudden...... I know the reason why I switched was partly due to the increase...

    0W-20 in a hybrid. Options?

    I used to use Toyota branded 0w20 in our camry, but have since switched over to Redline 0w20. No particular reason, other than I threw it in while ordering Redline for my Audi. Dave

    Who using LC these days ?

    I recently stopped using LC / FP after using it on 2 different cars for about 4 years. In the end, spending more for a higher quality synthetic + occasional injection cleaner was much easier than adding in LC and FP. I can't really say if LC did much for me . . . the UOAs I had with/without LC...

    FP60 ineffective?

    FP60 ineffective?

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am also running water/meth injection, deposits were cleaned at 39k and I have a PCV blockoff reducing the amount of contaminants getting into the system. Dave

    FP60 ineffective?

    Ever since I purchased my car in 2005, I have always used FP60. The vehicle in question is a 52k mile 2006 Audi A3 with the 2.0t FSI engine. FP60 was used religiously, only skipping every other tank when it wasn't handy, but overall the vehicle stuck with the cleaning regimen as specified by LC...

    Even the mighty Porsche DI succumbs to deposits

    Originally Posted By: saaber1 Also it should be noted that when VW redesigned the DI 2.0 FSI to the DI 2.0 TSI (avail. in the U.S. roughly mid 2008) they re-angled the fuel injectors so that some/more fuel is hitting the valves. That should help some I would think. For more info., see self...

    23 UOAs database for audi/VW 2.0l FSI turbo

    I drive an A3 . . . and you may want to search for magilson's UOAs. He's done quite a few on GC and they have all been excellent. Dave

    Interesting observations (M1 0w40 vs GC 0w30)

    I have a fuel diluting Audi 2.0t FSI. Have been running mostly GC 0w30, but this past oil change I put in M1 0w40 due to availability. Previous OCIs on the GC were in the 4k mi range. 2k miles into this oil change with 0w40 M1, I pulled the dipstick to check consumption and noticed that the...

    GC 0w30 + LM MoS2 in 06 Audi A3 2.0t FSI 3100mi

    This is a recent UOA taken from my 2.0t FSI (fuel diluting monster). The engine is modified with SII programming, intake with AEM dryflow filter and aftermarket turbo-back exhaust. This UOA comprised of mostly stop and go city driving, cold starts (late winter), as well as an auto-x event over...

    what is good VW 502 approved OIL??

    Which Audi FSIs that are currently produced still use lean-burn? None of them to my knowledge. It was removed from the 2.0t awhile ago . . . IIRC ending with the AXX engine code. Dave
