It's a regular 5-gallon bucket.

Luckily I still have the 1-gallon jug from last time (and an empty RLI 1 quart bottle).

PLan on using a one of those "pump siphons, I got from the auto parts store.

A drill pump will make things a lot quicker though...

I am not so sure in these FSI motors. See RI_RS4's monster thread, M1 0w-40 did not fare well at all in these motors.


Can be true on analysis, but seriously... what vw 502 oil has done good in analysis for our cars?

Cant really recall any, then again not a whole lot of FSI guys getting analysis yet.

Lubromoly 5w40 has done pretty well.

Liqui Moly 4200 for the first 5000km..now I am on Motul 300V 5w-40.

Took my fuel pump bushing out last night...it looks brand new, not a mark. Yet to do a UOA though.

thoughts?

RLI is pretty much that formula in that patent I am pretty sure as it is a low volatility and low intake valve deposit.

There are actually quite a lot of oils with NOACK less than 12%.

The 5gal pail has a small (2 inch) built in e-z pour spout, which eliminates the need to pry off the lid. I just pried off the small white cap, opened the spout and poured the oil into a leftover 1 gal oil jug that I had lying around. Really easy!
