    I just know this was brought to my attention and I inquired about it and I was given the why. All I know is AMSOIL did pay. This was a big Co. and the damages were a lot that is why it went to court. I have been told that back in the 80’s a claim was made because an engine failed because...

    I have seen this and it was the dealer not researching what product to use they used the wrong product resulting in failure.

    The fact is our oil meets VW spec's plain and simple for more info AMSOIL FAQ Page We use the top-performing, and usually most expensive additives. These additives have already passed all of the API licensing requirements in a petroleum- or synthetic-based formulation. The real fact we exceed...

    What I was trying to say is it does not have to be approved by VW all it need is to meet the specs and AMSOIL does that. That is why the dealer was willing to install our oil and yes they knew I was a dealer that bears no weight on the facts. I am 67 years oil I have been told all my life you...

    On my first oil change my VW Dealership ask me if I had AMSOIL for my Jetta willing to install it in my car. So IMO the scare tactics of some is unwarranted. Amsoil backs up there product any way.

    I can assure you the HDD will not sheer the 7.3 is notoriously hard on shearing. I have close to 400 hp and have never had that show up on oil samples. The HDD is rated for 800 hp turboed gas racing. Anyway it is your engine good luck. Bill

    Why 20w50 if I may ask if this is for your tdi even modified that AME or I might suggest HDD would work. Before you jump on this post racing is a very good application for both oils. Here is a tdi using HDD not modified though posted on this site years ago. http://tinyurl.com/mu67ajs I hope...

    I use both cetane boost & diesel concentrate and I get 50 miles per gallon easly. I use 2 oz each per tank. I don't use cold flow as it does not get that cold and I have a heated garage. Bill

    Amsoil has the Audi ATF Audi G-052-025-A2 or G-052-162-A1 I really like our product but if it is unacceptable I will not risk it. As fare as I know it may already be rated G 052 182 A2 just has not been released yet.Thanks Bill

    DSG Top Fill

    After reading the post one suggested using the VAG-COM is this absolutely necessary? Are you pushing out the old oil with new oil? I noticed the oil used was G 052 182 A2 would Audi G-052-025-A2 or G-052-162-A1 work? Thanks for your help/posts Bill

    I am getting ready to do this job trany fluid change I am getting ready to do this job I am told, trans oil pan has a built in filter (must replace the pan) and the last time I checked this pan was about $250. If the fluid is clean, forgo this replacement. A little input please. Bill

    Good advice on using oil sampling as a way to monitor oil once you have established a drain interval then keep doing a sample at the 25k. Bill

    5w-40 for 2011 tdi

    I was trying to show adding or mixing can not be in the best interest. That being said topping off your oil with different oil is considered ok just for a short time. Bill
