Well, I've decided I'm going to give SLX LongTec (the new German Castrol formulation) a try in my 1.8T.
I got this:
and this:
It's probably of not much interest to the north american folks, as you don't get this formulation over there (at least not yet). And it's a bit of a gamble on my side since Castrol didn't bother to release any specs of this oil, apart from the certifications that it meets:
But heck, the old SLX can no longer be found here (all gone and replaced by SLX LongTec), and someone's gotta be the first to try it, right?
I also want to do a VOA of this oil, and I will, if I can finally get Blackstone to send me the darn test kit.
And once I hit 5k miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, I'll do a UOA as well.
So, that's that. Nothing scientific here. Just wanted to share.
Cheers,
