Have driven a 2004 1.9 PD engine from new to 510.000Km on VW507.00 5W30 and 30.000km intervals... (60k km a year) ultra low sulfur fuel. Original turbo,camshaft,engine never opened.

When the tdi with dpf is out of warranty and has high mileage on the clock, I think you could consider a different oil... So that is why I am using Shell Rimula R6LM 10W40 synthetic acea E6 for 2 years now in my (tuned) 3.0tdi dpf. At 4,-Euro a liter it is a bargain for a synthetic oil. No...

Nice. Thanks, good to hear.

Hello, I have 20Liter of this oil in stock(ACEA E6/E7/MB.228.51) Shell Rimula tds The car is a 2006 280hp (tuned) Audi A4 quattro 3.0tdi v6 with DPF Can I use this instead of the ´´weaker´´ VW507.00 5W30 oil, wich I don´t like... Ash level rimula is 0,9, the engine burns virtualy no oil...

I have a 460.000Km 1.9 tdi PD 105BHP Had it from new. 30.000Km OCI, Car makes 65.000KM a year. (10ppm diesel) Most of the time on VW507.000 5W30 XL-III Valvoline, never had one problem with this engine, original camsaft,turbo,egr. Car runs perfectly fine, no oil consumption or smoke.

I have a VW 105BHP 1.9TDI PD with 460.000KM on the clock, have this car from new. Always changed oil between 20.000km en 30.000km (driven 60.000KM/Year) With VW 50501 and most of the time with VW 50700 5W30 oil. Never had one problem with this engine, camshaft, turbo, injectors, everything is...

looks very good to me! I use this type of oil with exactly the same specifications, only from another brand. You can use it in every diesel engine, even in the older tdi engines. (Acea A3/B4)

Indeed, HD 15W40 CI-4/Acea E7 B3/B4 is very cheap and works perfectly fine in many older and even newer diesel engines I use it to, €25 5 liter.

A time ago I spoke with Mobil1 technical service (Netherlands) He said 0W40 turbodiesel is NOT exactly the same as 0W40 new life. There are small differences in formulation he said.

I have found a document with the difference in forumula between the new life 0W40 and the old. It's a pdf: pdf Mobil1

Thank you Rollins. They don´t sell Profleet LS, the ´´normal´´ Profleet 10W40 is the only one they sell, a lot more expensive than a mineral 15W40 E7 btw! (50euro 5 liter with 40%discount!) So don´t use it in my cars? I have a Iveco truck (2.3HPI) to, and 15W40 E2 is subribed, all of my cars...

that was what I'm worried about... What would happen if I use this high ash oil?

I have found a synhtetic 10W40 HDEO in my local store and it's the only one they have: Valvoline It has E4 and E7, but i'm worried about the very high TBN, maybe to high? Should be compatible with EGR and SCR.

Thank you for your advice. Why would a mineral (DHEO) not be good in a car? Because the cold starts, or just because it's mineral, and why would that be that bad? The mineral is designed for high powered turbo diesels I would say? An oil engineer told me that a mineral 15W40 HDEO oil has a...

One car is a 2000 Audi Allroad 4wd with the 2.5tdi v6, it is tuned to 190hp and is pulling often a heavy trailer. The engine is known for it's camshaft and rockers problems, (a strong oil wil help) It has 340.000km on the clock. Oil requiring, VW505.00 The other car is a Peugeot partner 2.0hdi...

Quote: If the manufacturer prescribes specifically a synthetic ACEA B4- then a 5w-40 A3/B4 is what I'd use. If the vehicle is not that demanding and the manufacturer allows a humble gr.I 15w-40 A3/B3/B4 oil with a conservative OCI - well, then I'd weigh carefully the pros and cons of buying the...

Quote: Also, if ACEA- certified, a mixed-fleet SAE 15w-40 HDEO of gr.I would often have the PC ACEA A3/B4 category. Finding a PC gr.I 15w-40 having A3/B4 however is virtually impossible... I noticed that, why is that? A HDEO 15W40 has far better specs than a PC 15W40? Isn't the HDEO gr 2...

Yes, that is probarly true. I had spoken to the technical service from Shell, but he recommend not to use R6 (LM) low saps in a diesel car because the oil was not disigned for high speed diesel engines. Always stick to the manufacturer specifications! So he said.

I know the E oils are heavy duty for trucks. There a many other brands here that have fleet oil 15W40 wih A3/B3/B4 specification together with truck specs CI4, E7/E9, Volvo VDS 3, MB 228.3 etc. Delvac and Rimula R6 are synthetic and much more expensive, but proberly better, but no B3/B4... I...

Hello, There are many heavy duty oils (acea E7/API CI4) available in Europe with the a3/b3/b4 specification, is this is a new formulation? And why? Never seen this before... Like this: http://www.kroon-oil.com/en/products/cat...-specificaties/ More than 2 times cheaper than a synthetic 5W40...
