Does an EB have a special emissions system that needs protected?Probably because, the low SAPS oils with the VW 504.00/507.00 labeling are formulated for emissions systems protection. That’s what the “ESP” signifies in Mobil 1 ESP.

They do have catalytic converters, just like the European cars. The labeling includes catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.Does an EB have a special emissions system that needs protected?
I get that, but like you said European cars, particularly ones requiring an A3/B4 full SAPS oil, have cats as well.They do have catalytic converters, just like the European cars. The labeling includes catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.
Are you saying Red Line is owned by P66? Or that it uses P66 formulas?Yep, Phillips 66, Kendall Oil and Red Line Oil are all Phillips 66 products. Yes, Motorcraft is still made by Phillips 66. The Red Line Professional Series (OEM) products line are similar to the Phillips 66 Shield Valor and Kendall GT-1 Max lines. However, the Red Line Professional Series 5W30 lists a slightly higher HTHS of 3.2.
Red Line is owned by Phillips 66. Go to their website and see for yourself. Compare the product data sheets. They have two different lines of oils.Are you saying Red Line is owned by P66? Or that it uses P66 formulas?
That makes more sense to me why a gasoline engine would specifically call for a low saps formulation.Some euro cars have GPF gas particulate filters which is where the low saps is desired as far as I know
Owned since 2014.Are you saying Red Line is owned by P66? Or that it uses P66 formulas?
The Redline High Performance Line is still the good old stuff from the original recipe. The Pro series is basically re-branded Phillips 66 OEM oilAre you saying Red Line is owned by P66? Or that it uses P66 formulas?
Already been answered.Owned since 2014.
And that's not the only reason.That makes more sense to me why a gasoline engine would specifically call for a low saps formulation.
Yeah 2017+ 3.5L and 2018+ 2.7L and 5.0's have both port and direct injection. At least on the Ecoboosts, the port injectors are always functioning somewhat but are used for majority of the fueling at low rpm/load.Didn’t know that. Still both better option, especially M1.
The early 3.5L Ecoboosts in the F150 had issues with condensation build up in the intercooler. If the owner drove it like a grocery getter instead of a truck, it would build up to the point that, when they finally did hit the gas, it would suck a plug of water/oil/etc into the engine. I think that was what killed a lot of them.I've read a lot about LSPI......to my understanding it's almost always seen in 4 cylinder TDI engines and not V6 or V8 TDI engines. Is there a specific reason for this ? I've read about V6 EcoBoost engines grenading themselves, but 95% of the time this is due to having a "HOT" tune loaded and not LSPI related. However the web is full of 4 cylinder engines that have come apart due to LSPI.
Where did all that condensation come from?The early 3.5L Ecoboosts in the F150 had issues with condensation build up in the intercooler.

They actually don't seem to fail that much from tuning. I don't remember the last time I saw an engine failure that wasnt at extreme limits pushing almost double the factory hp.
