    dexos1 vs dexos2, gen1 or gen2?

    I think that the problem of LSPI is characteristic of "liquid" oils, ILSAC. For Volkswagen AG engines in Europe, the recommendation is only A3 (C3 today) for TSI engines ... And all LSPI issues are related to those who ride American or Asian engines. In addition, this engine (A14NET) has a...

    No, the oil is original. Just in some gasolines additives are used, which at negative temperatures on the street - give a gel (fuel in cold starts gets into the oil). This "washing" additives, a couple of years ago, even there was a massive problem of "oil plague" as it was called. Then many...

    What do you feel is a reasonable OCI for synthetic

    No matter how many miles you traveled, it's important how many hours your engine worked. I think for the city 250-300 hours is fine. Of course, traffic jams, cold starts - reduce time. A diesel or larger volume of crankcase - increase time.

    dexos1 vs dexos2, gen1 or gen2?

Prior to this, they always poured...
