Amsoil claims an average 3% gain in fuel economy using their Series 3000 5w-30. But it's $10 more per gallon than Amsoil 15w-40. Effectively voiding any money saved by the increased fuel mileage.So if their claims work and the engine is better for it and the oil can Pay For itself... HUmmm
extra quality oil, same or less $$$ spent, more protection, saving the environement, etc... all without Extra $$$, even at break-even it pays for itself.
Let me tell you something, I was a little worried trying an oil that is about 24.00 a gal. but I did, and to my surprise it DID pay for itself in the fuel savings. The question is Do you think the claims are real, and will work in your engine with your application, if they do... ITS FREE OIL.
Sorry Bob - You're answering a question, but it's not MY question. I didn't say a thing about the turbo - the issue is with the rings as TexasTDI also pointed out here. SO... 10K miles down, 50K miles to go. THEN TEAR THE ENGINE DOWN and post a photo of the rings. Till then, the jury's still out.quote:

I guess this kinda puts the issue of the TDI can't use anything but a synth oil to rest. The oil used in this analysis is the Schaeffers #700 SUPREME 7000 SAE 15W-40 which is a blend and not anywhere near a full synth. Based on this report, I see no evidence of it sludging or even breaking down due to the high speed turbo that Andy H was claiming would destroy the Schaeffers oil and stating for a fact that only full synths would hold up based on his statements in this last thread.. New VW TDI which oil
Man you and TexasTDI are like a couple of sheep.quote:
