'16 Big Turbo Golf R running Ethanol Blend

Here's another 2.0 EA888 ('16 S3) that has had a fair # of UOAs. As far as I can tell this car is stock but not sure. Looks to be mainly in the 20's on iron and one UOA over 30. One single digit UOA
UOA #1-#5 -> https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...gen-3-castrol-dealer-oil.280538/#post-4598948
UOA $6-#10 -> https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...8-gen-3-ravenol-rsp-5w30.336490/#post-5640123
Went a bit longer than typical 3K OCI and went 3.7k miles on this UOA
55% Motul Sport 5-50/45% Motul Sport 5-40
No changes on engine/tune/fueling front since last time. Ran E40 tune about 50% of time and E85 tune 50%
Unless motor pops and I build the engine I don't anticipate any more real changes. Will hopefully be out of the car onto the next one by then.
Iron lowest its been (still higher than norm but not surprising considering power level and my use case.
Don't know if Aluminum is all that concerning or not. Won't change my driving habits!

Understood. I did a search on some of the FB mk7 related forums for others that did Blackstone reports and it seems like a high % had aluminum higher than the Blackstone reported Universal Averages. What ever the case I'll continue as I usually do and hammer it. I'm well prepared for any catastrophic turn of events.

measured metals.. al+fe+cu+pb+sn
45/3.701k= 12.16 ppm per 1000 miles @ 12.61cst
Compare to the other 3 runs.... thick oil protected pretty good.
Enjoy the engine, the 3k-4k oil change intervals, but try running straight 5w50.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes except for my first UOA where I had Castrol 0-40 I've been running Motul Sport.
My previous UOAs with respective mileage are detailed below.
I went to the bigger turbo set up about 800 or so miles into the Castrol 0-40 UOA
For this most recent oil change I put in Motul Sport 5-40 since I tend to run 0-40 or 5-40 in winter months
37525 miles - Castrol 0-40
40610 miles- Motul Sport 5-50
43669 miles - Motul Sport 5-40
47370 miles - Motul Sport 5-40 & 5-50 blend
Hi All,
the Golf was sold early this year and replaced with a manual 2020 M2 Competition. The M2 is now officially out of warranty and I'm set to swap out the factory fill oil. As of last week the M2 has a mild M4 GTS level of tune (w/ tune = ~490whp/465wtq m2c stock = ~410whp/~410wtq) ). Use case same as Golf....2nd car, primarily a canyon carver here in Colorado, hoping for some track days next season when my schedule allows.
I'm going to run Motul Xcess 5-40 in the M2, but I have a full 5L jug of Motul Sport 5-40 leftover from the Golf. I'm going to place an order with FCP euro which will include the Motul Xcess 5-40. Any issues on this first change to run 5L of the Motul Sport with ~2L of the Xcess 5-40? I did some searches on BITOG and it appears there some threads on both sides of the fence with Motul and mixing their Sport or 300v lineup and their standard oils. Thanks!
