Ash content in oil; Liqui Moly oil.

Liqui Moly has a 507 oil for TDI that has low ash content

There is no ash in motor oil. Re-read Solarent's excellent posting and the ones that follow. The sulfated ash in the oil's specs is an artifact of the testing process. There is a very small amount of ash created when oil is burned in a combustion chamber, but millions of millions of miles on engines have shown that this is not a problem.

Sounds like some things may have gotten lost in translation.




Or the "Representative" didnt do his home work and prematurely pulled the trigger based on lack of knowledge. Thus i dragged my butt in here to ask you nice folks for guidance.

My Thanks goes out to everyone for your time and knowledge.
