I ran 9,889 miles on the new Amsoil 505.01 5w 40.
This link shows my previous run on the older (non 505.01) blend. The link also shows oil ran up to 20k miles. http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=26;t=000273
I am VERY disappointed in the Amsoil 505.01 results compared to the older blend. I hope to hear from others experience with the Amsoil 5w 40 505.01 in TDI's.
Below I have listed two columns. First was my previous run with the original 505.00 blend and second column shows current 505.01 blend. Both samples taken at the 10k mile, + or -, mark.
Car now has 183,000 miles.
.............505.00.............505.01

Potassium.... 0 ................ 0
Vis @ 100 C.. 15.50............. 13.55
water........ 0 ................ 0
Soot/Solids.. .4 ............... .9
Coolant...... Neg .............. NO
TBN.......... 6.2 .............. 2.7 ???
OXID ........ 12 ............... 17
NITR ........ 15 ............... 19
F-SOOT....... .41 .............. .99
They recommend changing the oil because of low TBN. I will be changing oil tomorrow.
Any suggestions, discussion on results would be helpful.
Again I’m a bit disappointed in the new 505.01 results.
Thanks
