Bill it is not fair really knowing!!!
I do not push the envelope of any of my street cars but I do run the best group IV and V oil because [censored] happen and that is something that I can not predict. I did run my VW Golf TDI with little or no oil pressure for two hours on a blend of RP and Redline with no engine damage. I had to be at a payment meeting and the cost of the engine was minor compare to the payment that I was getting. The lost of oil pressure was due to a slow leak in the bypass system.
You had a leak big enough to lower or eliminate the oil pressure for TWO HOURS and still had oil left in the sump?
How many *gallons* does a TDI hold? I know its a diesel and they hold more but 2 hour leak?
Any one know of the gallons per MINUTE that a TDI flows?
Interesting....
