I don't..... but I'll continue searching out the data and looking at the UOA's we have out there. I know it's apples to oranges but with the way the 507's worked out for the PD's and VW vehemittly saying that's what we were supposed to be using despite the issues, I don't want to use it... call it a bad taste in my mouth if you will. If UOA's show that it's better, as good as the ESP 1 in the heavier weight, if cheaper, then maybe that's a great choice but for now, I'll run with what is in there (I'm sure it's 507) and change at 10k and then do the ESP 1 5/40 and change at 10k and see how they compare. Blackstone will provide the data points that I need to see for "My" car and I'll go from there.Does anyone actually have any UOA data that would indicate a VW507 oil would not protect a tdi CR engine as well as a 5W40?
What are your thoughts on this Tom or anyone else for that matter. We're all here to learn or teach in some capacity so I'm all ears on the matter being new to the CR motor and emissions systems.
Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks TooSlick, I didn't see your response but open for more feedback. Always appreciate your feedback.
