3.0 TDI in great shape. My guru here recommends LiquiMoly for use to keep chain wear guides in better condition. As far as I can tell, the 507 difference is only less sulfur and less ash. I doubt I could convince a dealer to put it in for me. Has anyone changed to Liqui Moly 505 in a 3.0? Comments on that?

If it's deleted, do it, if not, it'll clog up your dpf faster.

Thanks. Yes, I know that the tiny bit of oil that may "burn" would produce an even tinier bit of ash that may or may not be significant enough to make a difference. My quandary is how much.
