Has anyone ever used Marvel mystery oil in their TDI before and oil change for like 100 miles
Just to give the engine a little extra cleaning outWhy do you think it’s needed ?
I’ve had it off no sludge or anything in there. I’ve changed the oil several times and it has nothing in it. I was just curious. I have a 6.5 turbo diesel as well that hadn’t run it 18mths and I put half a quart in it and drove it for 1K then changed the oil in it again and it was clean as well. I was just wanting to make my baby last as long as I can. She has 286k and runs great except for a little hiccup every now and again with boost on colder days. I know that the #2 diesel doesn’t have the lubricating factors like days of old and I want her to go a million milesif you have sludge up in the head you can see via taking off the valve cover, your engine is screwed and immediate steps to free rings and save the cam should be taken, but if you see that, the turbo is probably shot as well.
99.999% chance you will find none, unless you never changed the oil!
I'm not sure what you mean by #2 diesel fuel not having the lubricating qualities of years past. If you live in an area it state that mandates 5-10% bio-diesel the lubricating quality will be great(er).I’ve had it off no sludge or anything in there.

Personally i would not bother with using a cheap low results product like M.M.O. instead i would use a Professional Grade Product likeHas anyone ever used Marvel mystery oil in their TDI before and oil change for like 100 miles
Ironically you’re advocating using an additive that is not VW 505/2/7 with the “proper spec” oil. Guess what, when you add the BG DOC to VW 50X oil it’s no longer 50X. The BG also likely adds additional sulfated ash since it says it enhances buffering of combustion acids which could impact DPF longevity. If you want enhanced buffering use CK-4 oils.Personally i would not bother with using a cheap low results product like M.M.O. instead i would use a Professional Grade Product like
BG for the DY'R that wants worthy results. i would run there E.P.R. in the oil for 20 minutes with the occasional lite rev for (increased Oil Pressure splashing around Piston Rings & overall engine oil circulation) afterword drane oil. fill near the top using proper spec synthetic oil/Fliter of Your choice then top it off adding DOC oil Conditioner for further added cleaning & anti wear Protection that DOC also will Neutralize any of the residual left by the EPR Cleaning. I have Personally used these products & always noticed my vehicles ran stronger there after than using any cheap off the shelf nock off.
BG EPR<sup>®</sup> Engine Performance Restoration<sup>®</sup>
EPR® softens and dissolves hard-to-remove deposits from piston rings and cleans micro passageways to maintain the critical hydraulic function of components, such as valve train actuators and turbochargers, restoring fuel economy and power.www.bgprod.com
BG DOC<sup>®</sup> Diesel Oil Conditioner
Maintains like-new diesel engine power and performance and prevents sludge through increased oxidation control and soot scatter technology.www.bgprod.com
Lets say maybe your right about adding Doc oil conditioner. then in that case Just use Your choice of synthetic Euro spec 507.00 oil on my 2012 TDI i usually run 5w30 Top Tec Liqui Moly oil today i bought some Mobile 1 ESP 5w30 on sale for $35.00 a jug to use on next oil change in 2 weeksadditive that is not VW 505/2/7 with the “proper spec” oil.
