Interesting choice of words, I didn't know there were "warranty recommendations." In the owner's manuals I've seen there are grade recommendations, required specifications and that's about it. Where is the tie to warranty?


This is a 2017 Owner's Manual snipshot:
Assuming we have the same OM, anything more than the recommendation is pretty vague...
But PimTac is only trying to keep things simple by recommending what is also recommended in the book, nothing wrong with that.

I'd go with a 30wt in a Turbo especially if you like to punch it.

All the major brands are great so long as they carry the rating required.

to BITOG!

Thanks wemay. That was my intent. Many times discussions get too convoluted here.

Thanks, I'll look for those two brands tomorrow.

As for the Kendall 5w30 GT1 Max, I was simply curious. I have a full case and would like to use it if possible. But since this thing is new, and my first import to boot, I guess I better not use anything that isn't A5 approved...

I agree, and I was really only reacting to and commenting about your statement:

I don't think it is, at least I've never seen anything that makes the connection between grade and warranty.

I don't know what the weight of the oil has to do with oil quality.

 

[Virtus_Probi]

To me, the downside of going with a 0W40 is that you're not going to find any of those with the dexos1 Gen 2 license and that's the only way to get an oil that has been tested for LSPI resistance at this point.
I'd go for getting the LSPI testing over the higher HTHS at this point, and you can get something like M1 0W30 AFE dexos1 Gen 2 if you want a 0WXX.

 

[wemay]

^I've come around to this line of thinking too.

Here's what I went with...

Great choice.

Thinly veiled method of calling people [censored]. Freaking awesome. Keep the truth coming.

OP, Castrol Magnatec in 5W30.

1 Manual, multiple places this vehicle is sold in the world where there might not be the same availability of oil like here.

With 88,XXX miles on our 2.0T, these are the oils used up to current fill...

My 2013 manual calls for API SM, ILSAC GF-4, ACEA A5 or higher
Oil...........Times used
VSP 5W30......10
M1 5W30.......03
M1 0W30.......02
VWB 10W30.....02
Edge 0W40.....01
Delo 5W40.....01
Devlac 15W40..01

Not one issue except for fouled spark plugs when changed at 40K

Well strangely enough ragdoll in Canada I have heard that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is easy to find. Here in the US it like finding one of these...

It's currently on Amazon (for prime members) and at Walmart.

I just don't care for the whole on-line buying deal. Don't know... But I just don't like it. I am a in person kind of cat. I liked it when you could Pennzoil Ultra at Wally World in store for $27.97.

With all this identity stuff, credit card, personal bank information being raided by bad actors I just don't really care for on line purchasing. Cash in hand just seems way more secure at this time... I had some cat try to use my bank card in Beckley WV last summer. And how did that bad cat get my bank card?? Yeah... Swiping that card at a store buying something. Which I rarely do. But I did a time or two when I just did not have quite enough cash in hand to pay for what I got.
