I will look. I will not replace with K04, I will replace with a new car, this has been a lemon.

K04 will probbably blow up the engine and trans the first time I drive it.

Expired August 29th, just eight short weeks ago. I am going to try for goodwill.

I don't think I have a chance but it can;t hurt to try.

She loves it and I love it. This particular one is just a lemon. I'll probably get another one.

I switched to mobil1 @60000 now my turbo whine. I also replace the valve cover,...

cause the leak gets worse after that switch. Yep, KO4 is on order with Milltek exhaust and Stasis suspension. So for people who are thinking the switch to synthetic oil just be careful.

Now I wonder if the oil sludge clog the oil return line from the turbo and cog the ball-bearing there. Never know, maybe engine flush is in order here.
