Have any of you (OptiLube XPD users) had an HPFP failure, or any issues with your DPF? As we're all rolling up miles, it would be interesting, to me, at least, to know what your experiences have been with your 09>>> CR TDIs.
FYI, I've contacted OptiLube, both by phone and by email, asking why they were not listed in the most recent (12/5/2011) EPA listing of all "registered" gasoline and diesel additives. The person answering the phone was very surprised to hear that they weren't listed, and I was assured that this was an EPA oversight. I would like more proof of that. (In my opinion, being "registered" with the EPA doesn't really add credibility to the product, but it IS a legal requirement)
I also asked them directly if they had any response, or would provide documentation, that the XPD available today is the same formulation that they provided for the Spicer testing of several years ago.
In both my messages, I indicated that I was an active member of the TDIClub forum. I also recommended that I felt they would benefit from a little transparency with their marketing.
I would like this thread to be limited to OptiLube XPD users, please. I don't want it to become a discussion of additives in general...we've had enough of those.
