Hello everyone!
My first post, i'm new here and from Holland.
This is the analysis of my Audi 1.9 tdi 130hp PD engine.
173.000miles, lube time was 9000miles and 4 months old.
The comment of the analysis says: (in Dutch) Everything looks fine.
I like the oil, the engine uses no oil and runs great, and the oil is not very expensive.
What do you think? Looks to me it can last longer?
