Lab, Dyson Analysis -Holt Cat labs.
2001 VW Jetta TDI
Chipped (rocketchip), egr mod and elephant hose ccv to atmosphere done a few k miles ago. Last owner also had to clean the egr... I replaced the elephant hose mod with an eclipse oil/air separator. Unknown mileage on fuel filter, k and n air filter (will change to paper soon).
City driving, in winter.. since 69,500 miles.. before that it was in Maryland where the last owner shifted at 2k usually, is that too low? I like to let it run to 2500 at least, but I do shift low if im accelerating real slow!
Oil Delo 15w-40 or synth 5w40?? (last owner is clueless, says he bought synth oil in blue bottle at walmart for 7 bux.. i think its 15w40).
Miles on Engine 71,000
Miles on oil 6000
Fuel soot 76 or 36% (its a ftir number, so im not sure if thats similar to the amsoil soot % which ive seen average like 2% max??)
