No, that's pretty high. I'd expect it may not be prone to LSPI based on that fact. In comparison, the GM EcoFlex 1.4L makes peak torque from 1,850RPM to 4,900RPM (VCT).

Ran M1 0w40 in our 2013 for the last 45k (+/-100-145k) … that year was not DI …

Also the new Gen3 E888 engine I have the turbo and exhaust is cooled so that should be some positive on engine oil.
Even after I turn the engine off after driving at 213-215°C oil temp. the pump kicks in and cools the turbo. In the past they advised to idle the engine till the oil temp came down to prevent oil coking in turbo. I suppose that's also a reason I get heat in the car in winter in just a few minutes.

VW has been running a coolant pump after shutdown for at least 15 years now.
It's my first VW so didn't know that. Thanks.

The 1.4T did run better on mid grade fuel …

1.5L Turbo DI SUV
87 octane
Hard acceleration in 2nd gear from below 2K RPM
High Sodium/Calcium motor oil
Above driving condition is the "perfect storm" leading to LSPI. Which was still a rare occurrence, but happened often enough for car manufacturers and motor oil suppliers to take note and make changes.

Looking forward to filling out the QSUD line in my table. Here's the oils I've done VOAs on so far for my Sportwagen and Atlas. All data in ppm. Ceratec/MoS2 in there based on UOAs after adding them to the LM LLHT which has effectively 0 for both so should be close.
Earlier models had 6 speed transmissions. It had to downshift. My Tiguan reacts to smallest input and downshifts which sometimes is annoying, but engine is always above 2,500r when any power is needed.
There are some cases. I think UG Passat had blown piston.
I've certainly heard of blow pistons on the MQB Golfs, especially tuned but none of it ever related to LSPI (but how would you know?).
I think his was LSPI. He can chime in. You can find some cases. But far from being “infectious” like with Asian and American brands.
Are you doing a VOA on the QS 5w40? Very much looking to seeing that one!
The VW Audi 2.0t is well known for carbon build up on the valves, I don't know if that is the same thing as LSPI or not.

The carbon buildup is a separate issue but mutually inclusive in that both occur as a result of GDI / T-GDI (for LSPI).
It will be interesting to see how it compares to this VOA of QSUD FS Euro 5W-40 taken in 2012 on oil club ru.
Yes, already sent it in. Carbon build up on teh intake valves is not the same as LSPI - low speed pre-ignition.
Looks almost identical to the Castrol 5W40 I have listed minus the titanium.
In today. I immediately felt the car was smoother plus at 140 mph the temp actually dropped to 190 vs. the normal 230. I'd call it a win..hahahahaha.....3 days late but April fools!
We will see how it goes - I expect it will exactly like every other 502 oil but I got the added benefit of some nostalgia...always remember using QS with my dad.
