2003 VW Golf 1.9L TDI ALH, 5spd manual.
UOA is done by Polaris Lab.
Mile at sampling: 210,187 miles
Miles on oil: 20,067 miles in about 11 months
Oil: 4L Liqui Moly 5W-30 + 2.0qt Redline 30WT Racing oil. Make up oil is 2L of Liqui Moly 5W-30 oil including the 6oz of sample.
Oil filter: VW full flow + new Amsoil BE90 bypass
Air Filter: Fram
Fuel filter: VW
Car is used mostly 90% highway and 10% city. Most trips are 65 miles one way. Fuel is mostly Fly'n J with 8oz of 2 cycle dino oil (Havoline TCW3) per 15 gallons. Fuel mileage is on the high side of 51mpg with best to date of 58 mpg (no A/C). I am still running this oil and will take it out to 30K miles since TBN and wear metals are good. Oil consumption is higher than the Royal Purple + RedLine that I also ran for 20K but the Liqui Moly is a Group III versus the Royal Purple which is a Group IV.
