Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for the info. I still have the stock turbo with Malone's stage 2 tune on my car. I'm sure I'll replace it with a CR170 + stage 3 at some point if the turbo goes or my DMF/clutch wears out/fails.

Any idea why the wear metals are higher in stock TDIs? Is it simply the fact that there is more resistance in the system that causes more wear? Just curious.

I read the post. I was just hinting to the fact you may want to try a different 507 oil, but if you are doing the buyback it won't really matter. I'm curious, do you notice much on the magnetic drain plug when you change your oil? I'm always tempted to add one to my cart when buying one of the...

I used what I "think" is the newer version of the 507.00 oil (it's in a gold bottle) you are using on my recent OCI and it did pretty well over the 7,800mi it was in the car. I didn't do TBN in this one though. https://www.europaparts.com/liqui-moly-l...SUaAiMxEALw_wcB My golf doesn't have as...

Originally Posted By: PimTac A good example of a great report with a oil that some will say has a weak add pack. I searched and didn't find any info on the new (2017) version of Long Life III. Just curious what people were saying about it. I put Total Ineo back in on this OCI, but there's no...

Latest report on the Golf I labeled which oil was used at the top of each column, they have all been 507 spec oils. Even though I haven't needed them for the last 38k miles, they keep giving good results and I'm happy with that. Oil Report April 2018 by DerekG710, on Flickr

Just bought a 2018 Tig for my wife yesterday.....I have 5-6k miles to make a decision lol (Not doing 10k mile OCI's) I noticed the 502 and 0w30 reference in the manual, but I guess I missed the 508 addendum although I knew about it while researching before buying the car. It will be nice to see...

Most recent UOA for my Golf. Things continue to look great! I told them I added a Frost Heater and used it on every cold start below 40F. I did not expect it to make a difference really.....iron did go down, but no way of really knowing if the Frost Heater is the reason. It did SIGNIFICANTLY...

My parents have a 2010 FX35 that they bought in 2010 with 1k miles on it. It's AWD with the 7-speed auto with ~60k miles on it now. No mechanical issues with the engine or drivetrain, and they praise it for its snow capability with AWD. I think they had to replace a control module for the rear...

I would definitely stick with the VW 507 oils on the stock emissions equipment, even if you are removing the dpf in the future. Clogging it up using the incorrect oil it will put extra stress on the turbo and unless you are going stage 3 right away I would want my stock turbo to be in good...

Originally Posted By: edyvw That is good UOA. Did you notice any subjective difference with all those oils (noise, cold start etc.)? I haven't been able to tell any subjective difference. I should have labeled the oils on that report though.... The first UOA at ~35k miles on the car and 6,900...

Just received my 3rd UOA for the Golf. All good news it seems. Miles on engine- 52,237 Miles on Oil- 7,326 I towed my ~1500lb camper 3k of those miles on 2 different road trips. One to the mountains and one to the desert. Screen Shot 2016-12-15 at 8.17.16 PM by DerekG710, on Flickr I'm not...

This is the 2nd UOA for my Golf. The first one was done with the dealer Castrol Pro and for my first non-free oil change I wanted to try Mobil 1 ESP. I initially planned to change it at 7k for a more apples to apples comparison with the Castrol, but I went on a 3k mile road trip and it was too...

I used the Castrol llo3 on my last fill in my '13 Golf TDI and blackstone also mentioned the thickening. I switched to M1 ESP to see if it does something similar on my next UOA.

Originally Posted By: m37charlie I'd suggest trying Mobil 1 0W40. It has a starting TBN of 11.8, far higher than the 6.0-6.5 of a 507 oil, also 25% more Zn/P. I'm going to use it my 09 BMW X5 35d which had the same things befall it as yours. I have a stage 1 Malone tune. MPG seems to have gone...
