VW Haldex fluid UOA

Saw this one another forum I frequent. Thought it'd be interesting to post here for archival purposes as this isn't one you will see often. I've never bothered running mine and I've changed it twice in 74K.

Why do we just spot that half a year later? Thank you TiGeo.
Which car and total miles?
Perhaps expectable to see Fe 84 ppm and Cu 142 ppm - not
quite very low. I'd love to see an UOA on Ravenol AWD-H.

Here's a Haldex fluid VOA and UOA from a while back.

Haldex Fluid UOA and VOA

Did a Haldex fluid change on my Tiguan 4Motion Don't know which one is the OE Haldex fluid, there is the G-055 and a G-060. I chose the less expensive fluid (G-055). on the To-Do list is buy the container of G-060 Haldex fluid and do a VOA on it.

Febi SDS says group III base oil like the G060 fluid

G055 is Group IV and you pay less and get a full 1 liter container

I change it so frequently that I can't imagine there is much of a difference. So 60 is the newer fluid and 55 is the older? LM has one now too.

G060 is the new, more expensive fluid using a lesser base oil. It's more expensive while giving you less product if you buy from the dealership.
