The Critic Registered: 08/30/04 Posts: 16124 Loc: Bay Area, CA	Link This guy is teaming up with George Morrison over at AVLube for his experiment. George posted in that thread, check out his response: quote: This scene has been taking place an awful lot lately at our Mobil Store.. A very new looking TDI drives up, the driver gets out with a grin on is face and says "I'm back George! The warranty is over on my TDI and I am finished with that XXXX oil and back to Delvac 1". So far all oil analysis results I have seen have indicated a decrease in wear metals, etc.. I would very much like someone to share how a full group IV synthetic 40W is going to cause cam issues, especially with its robust anti-wear package to boot, vs. a group II+ or Group III containing far less addization... Please enlighten.. I am missing something...... George

Tornado Red Registered: 06/01/05 Posts: 1720 Loc: Saint Paul (ex-San Diego)	Here is a link to GMARK's UOA for Delvac in a 2004 TDI PD engine: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=1387672&postcount=494 Only 150 ml of make-up oil ... I challenged him because it looked so new, I figured he must have added a lot more new oil.
