WOW! This oil held up very well for nearly 10,000 miles.
Thanks for sharing. That does seem like quite a bit of iron at your mileage, I wonder what part of the engine it is coming from?
Duck, what are your thoughts, based on experience, Ravenol vs Castrol ?
What filter? Pathetic!
I guess I will stick with my oversized synthetic media 'domestic' filter, filtermag, and magnetic drainplug.
Not too crazy about the PPM iron level... especially from a timing belt engine.
Good that your driving style doesn't show oil dilution from fuel.
This is a high compression turbo GDI motor.... where's the LSPI magnesium? VAG thumbs nose at US oils!!!!
And, the good news:

Dyno confirms why I call this engine.... all torque no rev! Other than 1st gear, I just can't ever push it past 5000rpm and I see why from the dyno graphs.
I keep mine under 2000 shifts points and get 50mpg. I blast around with a 3000rpm shift point and get 38mpg. One is much more fun than the other.
I'm sticking with 5k intervals for now and am contemplating moving the grade upwards since I am already overboosted. Waiting on APR to compare to Unitronic before dumping the JB4.
