I choose not to pull stuff from between my left & right hip pockets.

So wait, all know, uber engineer that claimed that the United States moved to ULSG cannot confirm that average gas station has ULSG? So now is saying: why you do not get.......
I thought you have something to contribute to the conversation except: I worked on multimillion dollar..,...
Basically, what you are saying is: it might be ULSG, but it might not. I am not sure how that is "requirement."

Yep, same one that is in 1.8TSI Passat.
I think VW copy/paste information from booklet where ULSG is available, like UK, and just put in the U.S. cars, while putting sticker with correct oil requirement under the hood.

I gotta say with all the bad information out their regarding ULSG in the U.S. (thanks mostly to Uncle Sam) coupled with the fact that low / mid saps oils are more widely available than ever, it Seems like an "imperfect" storm waiting to happen.
