I'd appreciate some opinions here. Friends car, 06 Passat 2.0 Turbo w/45,500 miles. The guy is in sales, driving 800-1,000 miles per week. Oil was Amsoil AFL Eruo Formula 5w40, in for 10,950 miles. Filter was VW cartridge. 1qt of makeup oil was added during the run. Blackstone just retruned results today:
