This truly is a 15K oil

Crazy high iron.

High iron and some aluminum par for the course with TDIs. Looks like a totally fine UOA to me. I'd continue with this oil @ 11-12k intervals.

D'oh!

Probably best not to comment on engines whose wear patterns you are not familiar with.

This analysis shows 56% of the iron (on a per mile basis) of the average CR analysis.
