Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40, 11,000mi, '12 VW GTI 2.0L

[GermanAutohaus]

This is the latest UOA from a customers 2012 Volkswagen GTI with an APR stage 1 tune. The customer was running Motul 8100 Xcess 5W40. The vehicle was driven with a 50/50 mix of city/highway. Frequent spirited driving.

The Motul used sample looks good at 11K though KV@100*C a bit thin.
Yeah, extending OCI makes sense.

* Update *

Just confirmed that the customer is running a K&N air filter, which explains the elevated silicon.

Lower iron PPM/1000 miles with the 11000 mile run (3.5) vs the universal average (4.1). Silicon accounted for. Vis low but didn't seem to hurt things. Good report.
