For info VOA of this oil - TBN measured at 7.6 Total miles on engine at oil change = 15,389.

Oil was changed on time i.e. 12 months. Unusually low mileage this year due to lockdown and personal reasons. Nothing remarkable noted, KV100 at 12.0cSt is sturdy.

I don't think this model was ever sold in the USA. OM651 2.1 L diesel hybrid - C Class wagon. Still plenty TBN left and KV within grade.

KV comfortably within spec and wear metals reasonable. TBN is depleted to 2.6 so I'll probably keep with a similar ~8,000 mile OCI next time. Same oil type has gone back in this change.

I bought the Mini in March this year with 2500 miles on it and put on another 1000 miles before the lockdown. I would not normally change the oil so soon, but the lockdown provided an opportunity to do an early change to Shell Helix Ultra 0W30 ECT C3 (LL-04) for which I have commissioned and...

Note the packaging is exactly as described above and not the 0W30 ECT C2/C3 although it may be the same oil. I picked this oil up really cheap @ £1.19 per litre (US$1.50) and suspect it may be an end of line item replaced by the C2/C3 - this is unconfirmed. I'm also including for reference an...

I noticed the handy Lubrizol tool has been updated with a few additional specifications. In particular they have included a 2020 VW 504 / 507 although the * has no foot note that I could see. Anyone have any more info on this 2020 VW spec? The latest BMW LLxx and the Porsche C40 specifications...

I just changed the oil in my Audi (UOA posted here) which got me looking into the VW502.00 and VW504.00 approved oils; both are suitable for my car but the 502 is not approved for "variable service" i.e. if you want to run the car beyond a year. I intend to change at least once per year so I...

UOA on the factory fill in my Audi R8 V10. One year old and 5,960 miles on the car and oil. The viscosity was only tested at 40C which is not ideal to confirm grade - 53cSt is quite low and suggests factory fill is 0W30. I hope the picture uploads as I can't see it in the preview pane. Edit ...
