Bob is the Oil Guy Try Bob is the Oil Guy web site. Someone may have accomplished some research.

Color is not an indicator of the chemical capabilities of the oil. The only true way to know is through oil analysis. I changed mine at 5k & 35k (first service by Audi). The difference that I noticed was that the filter was clearly a different color and not just from the fluid. I am still...

$3.659 at Southern States, Fredericksburg, VA, near Shannon Airport.

I cannot speak to all that you have written. I only know that this is the supplier http://www.southernstates.com/articles/hf/dieselfuel.aspx "Super Gold Premium Diesel Fuel"

I have been meaning to ask about this. I was lucky and found a Southern States that rotates its Diesel tanks at least three (3) times a week as my primary fill location. My back-up is a Sunoco Truck stop. When we travel, only fill-up at Large Truck stops. My 2002 and newer Diesels has had a...

Wasn't the Jeep Liberty a CR? That would be in service prior to the VW CR.

Thank you for the numbers. However, in total units sold, what do the numbers equate to? Still trying to understand just how severe this problem is. As an analogy, I have been told that due to the high concentration of termites in VA, it is not if you will get attacked but when you will get...

I have a 2009 CBEA with a build date of 06.09. With 14500. I will change the filter at 15K just like the Audi. I have a 2010 CBEA with a build date of 09.09. With 19600. Audi changed the filter at 15K then 20K there after. My local VW Dealer has not had an instance of a HPFP failure. My...

Southern States - Fredericksburg $3.499

FYI ... I called VWoA about a change for the Fuel Filter replacement interval. I have an A3 with a CBEA. Audi released a bulletin that has the first change at 15K then 20K there after. VW still has the 20K interval. The reason told to me by the care specialist was that they did not want a...

Southern States - Fredericksburg $3.459, Sunoco - Massaponax $3.499 (Credit), Exxon (B??) - Ladysmith $3.439

That is all well and good. I will contact SwRI to get some information on the Test Stand. However, the AEL, states "Recommended for the extended drain intervals established by the vehicle manufacturer. Change oil filter at time of oil change." That is the OCI...

Just replaced one on my PD. Impex was the lowest price I found shipped. Also DO the mod for this thing to work when the pump fails. It put my car out of operation due to the lack of fuel.

Just finished the Nov '10 article from Dan Peterson and a review of the AEL Brochure. I continue to be concerned about the Amsoil professing an equivalency to 507.00. I get the chemical compostion aspect but I am just not seeing the thrashing that occurs from VW to get on the approved list...

I have the stopped while driving problem with my PD. Car is currently in Southern NY. No TDI Guru's in the area. Dennis (Marquette Auto) is the closest. I did not get a VCDS scan nor any other info other that no fuel pressure from the garage that diagnosed the problem. I have a new lift...
