Here are the results with my run of Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w-30 in my 2.0L TFSI Audi. (A VW 504.00 oil) Use was 70%hwy/30%city.
I replaced with the same oil and same filter (Mann). I'm impressed with the results for iron especially as they are well below universal averages. Also happy with the remaining TBN.
I'm tossing around the idea of keeping it in for the 10,000 mile interval as Audi calls for. You guys think this oil will hold up for 10,000 miles? Remember its a DI/turbo. I always use top tier fuel, FWIW.
