Motul used oil analysis: 15,134 miles: 2010 VW Passat TSI
After a long winter of abuse -- numerous cold starts below 0ºF / -18º C, probably numerous short trips that didn't properly warm up the car (my wife is he primary driver of the car) -- the Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 isn't looking so great anymore. Maybe it's time to think about going with an ester-based oil...
