Hi,
I'd like to get some opinions regarding Schaeffer 8008 Advanced European Mid Saps 5w-30 compared to VW's 507.00 specs. Here are specs for the 8008, M1 ESP 5w30, and Liqui Moly Top Tech 4200 5w-30 respectively.
VI: 165/164/173
Flash: 224/254/232
Pour: -39/-45/-42
SA%: .8/.6/ TBN: 7.8/???/6.5
Phos: 744-843/800/???
Zinc: 781-971/900/???
Noack%: 10/???/???
The Schaffer 8008 is advertised as being dexos-2 compliant and suitable for 504.00/507.00 applications although it does not appear to have mfg approval.
It appears the .8 SA content is the same as the 4200's SA, so does that mean that it is DPF friendly? The property that really stands out to me is the TBN of 7.8, as I do 10,000 - 12,000 mile oci's.
I own a 2015 Passat Tdi and am currently running the Top Tech 4200.
