Anyone?
I am not sure what is topic here. My brother had Peugeot 407 1.6hdi sold to one guy with 280,000km. Few months ago guy calls him and ask him does he have another car to sell since he trust only him. He would give him back 407 and money for Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi. My brother takes back 407 with 340,000km and engine is in perfect condition, ONLY Low-SAPS C3 oil used (Total) due to DPF.
He also has like 20 diesels with DPF that he uses for business purposes since he owns small company.
So, all this hypothetical issues are just that, hypothetical. When someone here turns 200K on Low-SAPS oil then I want to know their experience.
Wouldn't the total C3 oil be mid-saps? We were still using full saps in those engines in 2008 when I went to another employer. We didn't have any DPF issues either.
He uses Repsol C3 VW 504.00/507.00 for his VW fleet of vehicles. They are also upward of 250k km.
