This will be the 4th and last dealer change(I promise) as I am jumping to HPL next time. I just didn't have the time to change it myself before our trip to VA.
2021 VW Tiguan 2.0 | 8037miles | VW OEM 508.00 0w20
- Thread starter Thermo1223
- Start date
Just in time to get that out of there! HPL should be a fine upgrade.
Yup, get that euro approved oil out and put in that unapproved oil. BITOG full circle gentlemen. j/k
Listen, keep it up and I'm using Pennzoil YB 10w40!
I couldn't tell you, but I assumed VW used Castrol mostly in the US.
I was told they have been pumping mostly Mobil bulk even before the departure from Castrol. FWIW
Did they put part numbers on your receipts?
Yes
g-020-01b-s0
Hmm - that seems to be some generic bulk oil number.
I mean in pops up as this in ECS and the original invoice was sold as qts but ya it could be a drum of bulk and just billed out as that.

Not really, it held up just fine and technically I'd be ok with using Mobil 1 I am sure but wanted to give HPL a try.
Am I missing something? That's a different part number?
That's what a Google search turned up and it wouldn't be VW if they didn't issue a new part number because they changed manufacturers. If you do an image search you get this.

I would be happy with this report for the miles used. Iron and aluminum are slightly above 1ppm/1kmi, TBN is low but appropriate for mileage, cSt does not seem too beat down, have seen lots of DI motors on here using 0w20 down in the 6s and 5s. Fuel dilution not too out of bounds.
Oil Analyzers doesn't provide a flashpoint? Maybe don't need one if they're measuring fuel dilution accurately?

Good thing it's not a BMW. BITOG BMW faithful claims that the Ultimate driving machine deserves the BMW licensed ultimate engine oil
Approvals are super important until they're not.
% PAO isn't important until it is.
A little work and I could make a haiku.

Some bash "un approved oil" while actively using "un approved oil"
It's nice to have all options for anyone of us though. I like them all to be honest.. approved or "unapproved".
We'll wait to see how the HPL manages in this VW & I'm sure it will do great.
