Amsoil SS 5 w -20 is 6.3 That is low as I've seen

head and shoulders shampoo outperforms all of those oils on that machine

He's just entertaining himself....I'm done.

Hmmm...seems 02s4audi has a 2002 audi as well. How many times are you going to ask the same question and under how many different names? The answer is:" Use engine oil meeting Volkswagen Oil Standard 502.00". You can change names, but the oil remains VW 502.00.

Same question, same writing style, same vehicle. Seriously, go back and read the the OP posts on each of the names mentioned previously. This is troll behavior, why not just stop. 4 different people in the NE don't post here about an early 2000 noisy Audi in the same Calender quarter talking...

Quote: But after making a bunch of oil mistakes like this in the past (put 20W50 in my excursion one time, adding whatever oil I had on the shelf for a top off - different weights) and hundreds of thousands of miles later all the cars still run fine - makes me wonder if we spend too much time...

LOL, they will remember that. As to your question, I don't think so (I've never used it). The purple in RP will not last. It turns normal oil color after a few runs. BTW RP is not the first dyed oil, back is the early 70's Union76 20w-50 racing oil was dyed purple as well.

How is the noisy Kia Forte doing?

Originally Posted By: Finklejag Why are you using a BMW LL-04 spec oil in this car? You should be using a LL-01 spec oil. The sulfur in our gas will eat away the TBN on these low-SAPS diesel oils in gas engine. +1 mobil 1 0w-40. Meets the LL-01 spec.

This is a perfect example where an hour meter would be handy. Take a look at your Trip odometer, you might have two (2). If it has an elapsed time feature you are good. Just convert to hours rather than miles. If your normal service mileage from the OEM is 7500 miles, that would equate to 150...

Most OLM's measure RPM's, cold starts, trip mileage, avg speed, eng temp, and are based on the recommended minimum spec oil. I would use your oil of choice Syn or not, that meets your engine's specs, and run the OLM down to 10%, change the oil, call it a day, and sleep well.

The real issue here is the dealership is being dishonest with the customer. The oil put in the car is not a M1 formula. So they lied. The grief from the service advisor is inexcusable and another lie. The way to deal with it is to challenge them...not doing so makes them bolder. They would be...

As a general rule, the lower the first #, the better the start up performance at any temp.
