Full SAPs HPL Euro NO VII Engine Oil

[B+oilstudent]

Wanting to use 10W-20 HPL Euro NO VII engine oil in my 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan. Just wondering if using a full SAPs add pack would do any harm to vehicle that calls for low SAPs oil. Anything that I should be concerned about?

Nah, you are good unless there is GPF.

If it's not burning any oil then should be ok to use it but it's a good general recommendation to use a LSPI add pack on any engine that needs it.

this is oil is not SN/SN+ and LSPI will an issue. I would not use it

Why do you want to use this oil vs. a more standard "504" type (0W-30 etc.)?

LSPI is not an issue on the gen 3/4 ea888 VW 4s.

VW does not have LSPI issues.

VW does not have LSPI issues.

every DI engine has this problem and reason for SN/SN+. I have seen few engines with broken ring landings from LSPI

Every DI has this problem? Thar is news. Which engines you have seen?
Also, in VW API is absolutely irrelevant!

Neither of my twin turbo DI vehicles have this problem. A40 oil in both of them. don't care about SN/SN+/SP.

Source?

Source?

Not T, but DI

You will be fine. That oil has a very low Noack of ~4%. Compare that to a common low SAPS oil with ~10% Noack. Which oil do you think will contribute more damage to emissions systems?

LSPI isn't a concern with that engine. Even if it was, that oil would still be a solid choice. That oil has a fairly high amount of ester and MoDTC, both of which are LSPI quenchers. Combine that with top shelf base oils that have high natural oxidation resistance, LSPI will not be a problem. This is actually a more effective method of LSPI prevention than reducing calcium.

Car has less than 50K miles, and I've used the HPL Euro 0W-20 since 30K miles. I plan on keeping the vehicle as long as I can, so I want to use the best oil to keep the engine protected from wear and fuel dilution. Am I wrong to want to use the HPL EURO NO VII 5W-20 oil?

I would use their Euro 5W30. If going No VII, use also Euro 5W30.

No I'm just not sure why you think the no-VII is doing anything for you here vs. what you are using or going to their 0/5W-30 Euro.
