Performance and Oil use (505.01 & 507)
Ok eyes are bleeding from reading... So I am just going to ask.
Those out there running bigger turbos, and more fuel what oil are you running? Have you reduced your OCI's, if so to what?
I have a BRM PD so its 505.01 or better for me and I would like to stay with a 5w40 or 5w30 weight oil, and try to keep a 10k OCI if UOA indicates it is ok with a 505.01 or a 507. Also thinking about a DG bypass filter too. (Really want a 10k OCI if possible) But wanting to reduce wear is my first priority.
Don't really want to use a Castrol oil so it and the VW brand made by Castrol are out I think. So no to VW LL oil GVW 052 195 M2 - 507.00 or Castrol SLX Pro LL03 - 507.00
Recommendations? Use a 507 and just check the UOA's to find the right OCI. Or 507 and a DG bypass filter and check UOA's to find the right OCI?
I think staying with 505.01 is not what I want to do. But that is what I have in now (ELF Solaris LSX 505.01 put in at 30k) so I may change it at 35k and run 505.01 or 507 to 40k then change again with 507.
Options:
Elf Solaris LLX 5w30 - 507.00
Total Quartz Ineo 5w30 - 507.00
Mobil-1 ESP 5w30 - 507.00
Motul?
Advice please, thanks!
