    5W-40 Castrol in a CBEA Engine

    My Father had his 2009 CBEA into the Stealership for Warranty work this week and Service Guy slipped and said they used Castrol Edge 5W-40. Immediately I told my Father that there is no 507.00 that comes in a 40 weight. We will attempt to get a verification in case the counter guy was...

    507 oil in PD

    507.00 in PD 505.01 Engines Some 507.00 oils state they are backward compatible, however, the heavier 5W-40 with special additives to protect your cam lobes is what you want to stick with. I am currently using Liqui Moly Top-Tec 4100, 5W-40, 505.01 and have had excellent results. My mechanic...

    Does anyone know what the Emissions Workshop dash alarm means? The light came on today. No loss of power. My buddy's 2009 has this alarm when his DPF failed. His did have lack of power and frequently stalled before VWoA honored his warranty. I heard a clicking sound under the hood near the...

    Long term use of power service and dpf health.

    Yes you are right. My friend however has an 09 with a DPF that clogged and left him stranded. He was using PS Gray Bottle since he bought the car. VWoA didn't want to honor the warranty but finnally gave in. The Stealer wanted $3000 initially but they finally covered the part and labor.

    Long term use of power service and dpf health.

    Not a chemical expert, but I recently switched from Power Service to Optilube. Past three tank fulls have yielded excellent fuel economy. 103,000 miles so far on my BRM and I plan to continue using Optilube with these results.

    Opti-Lube XPD (Fuel Additive)

    I have heard nothing but good reviews and performance for this product. It is supposed to be excellent for our fuel pumps, cetane boost, and fuel economy. Only need to add 4-6 oz per 15 gallons. I have been previously using Diesel Kleen (White bottle) this winter. Do any of the Veteran members...

    Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst

    Not really. I seem to get the most MPG's when the temp is in the 50's and 60's. When the extreme summer heat hits (90+) performance and efficiency goes south.

    Diesel Fuels

    Diesel Fuel I have tried many brands and have realized that one BP (for example) will sell a very high quality diesel with 47 cetane and another will sell 40 cetane. I always disliked Sunoco until a friend of mine recommended a Sunoco with Premium Diesel. My car reached a record max miles per...
