* the german word was "Schmutztragevermögen", hope I translated that right.
** the lab has introduced the "Rußindex", an in-house tool to check for soot in
gasoline oil, as soot from direct-injection engines will not show correctly in the
standard test for diesel oils

I wrote a short article on my reasons to do the uoa on my blog, which can be found here:

It's in german, but perhaps google translate might help. If not, feel free to ask me any question...
Copper and lead point to bearing wear, don't they? My usual driving is long-distance commuting (2x580km each weekend) at moderate speeds (120-130km/h) with only some short trips in between. I tend to shift up early and give the engine high load even at low speeds.
But during each OCI, the car usually sees one or two weekends of very hard use (read: full throttle all the way from Berlin to Munich...
So what do you think?
