the Valvoline 5w-40 has been used in 2003 and prior TDIs for many moons (it's its 50501 applicability - 2004 and later TDIs - that some are questioning). if it were my TDI, i would test at 5k and 10k - with the expectation that it will perform very well over 10k OCIs.1heavyfoot said:... Based upon a suggestion in this thread I plan to get it tested at 5,000 & perhaps 7,500 intervals just to be positive it is holding up for a full 10K interval. Maybe I can even contribute something worthwhile by posting the results.
Does this sound like a prudent enough move, considering I don't feel like driving the 15 miles to return the 6 bottles I have in hand???
If I remember correctly it cost something like $16 to have the testing done?
cheers!
