I have a new VW direct injected car. Once she hit 5k, I swapped out the factory fill with PU Euro L 5w30 after careful consideration. I've read about the US low-saps oil dilution, some say it's an issue, others say it's fine just go with 5k oci's.
However, since switching to this oil 2k miles ago, I discovered the "new" PP euro w/PP oil. I CANNOT find any info on saps level. Is it full or mid? Does it even really matter since it's made from a purer base stock? Obviously the DI carbon issues have been beaten to death, but it still feels like more experimentation/discovery is needed. I feel the VW 10k oci's are fine with a full saps 502 oil, however I want to really keep the carbon at bay for as long as I can. Will the new PP Euro w/PP, even at a mid/full saps level, and 10k oci's, give me what I'm looking for? Or, should I just stick with the Ultra Euro L with 5k oci's?
Car: 2014 Jetta 1.8tsi
Commute: 50 miles a day, 50/50
Style: Slower than most in my area
