2016 Audi S3 8V - EA888 Gen 3 - Ravenol RSP 5W30

[agpatel]

Below is UOA for my 2016 Audi S3 8V (EA888 Gen 3 Engine) with Ravenol RSP 5W30 oil. Oil was in for little over a year and almost 5k miles (less driving this year). Looks to held up decently. Iron littler higher, but iron block and PPM per 1,000 miles is in line with expectations. Also the PQ value did not rise (1 pt) so good to assume the iron particles are very small.

Glad to see I'm not the only one make graphs of wear metals!

Are you concerned with that oxidation number? What were the other oils used shown on this analysis?

I have many other plots that I have for Oil and Fuel milages.

Oxidation from the VOA was around the same so I assume for Ravenol it's higher side. Also, its been a year in the oil pan and not very many miles so would not be surprised. Plan on changing it out in the coming weeks - probably Motul 8100 x-cess Gen 2.
