Simply a yes or no answer would help Mike, who have never seen a manual that states this, although 3 people have affirmed this for him, he's still in the dark. TIA.

Default Here you go there....

The email clearly asking for RESEARCH into the CURRENT factory fill. Also clearly stating it was forwarded on to the PRODUCTS DIVISION for reply...

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/bhvrdr/factoryfill-2-640.jpg">

But why would you believe that when you have your old opinions holding you up. How about looking at the ONLY VW/Audi VW 502 oil...

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/bhvrdr/factoryfill-1-1.jpg">

No way, that cant be true. I know its GC because it just hast to be. I dont know why, but it just has to be althoug the actual 0w-30 oil in germany is different from our GC 0w-30, it just has to be. Well, how about the CURRENT manual that you speak of...

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/bhvrdr/approveviscosities-1.jpg">

NO way, cant be so. Blashemy. How about you post your own info since you have been caiming GC 0w-30 is the factory fill. Please post your source rather than attacking me. I am willing to bet you will continue to attack me personally in probably funny ways but I am also willing to bet you will post ABSOLUTELY NO factual data because you have none.

cheers! Mike

Default "He's gone mental". Prediction has come true. No info yet on GC 0w-30 being factory fill????

As I predicted to you. Only personal attacks from you. I don't think youre mental. I just think you havent looked into it since the sludge issues and the clear changes. So any idea on when you will post that data you have on the claim that the US German Castrol is factory fill?

cheers! Mike

Default That manual does not mention Factory-Fill, does it?

Since 2002 manual states, "Factory-Fill is 0w-30" and the only 0w-30 which meets VW specs is German Syntec, and Castrol is the Official oil of Audi...it does not take a genious to figure it out...well, maybe it does??? How is Imported German Castrol 0w-30 different from German Castrol 0w-30? Man, you need to keep taking your meds.

Hmm, are you saying we are all wrong or are idiots? It's got to be one or the other.

Default Ok there are two questions you have posed....

Again, ABSOLUTELY NO information on your behalf but lots more questions. I'd be happy to help. First, what Castrol oil that is in Germany do you presume our US GC Castrol is?

Second, your 2002 manual is PRE SLUDGE and I havent even seen you post this manual regardless.

I'm still waiting you yor factor fill GC 0w-30 sheet with dates on it since you claim it to be true? &lt;prediction: once again personal attacks with NO DATA at all&gt;.

cheers! Mike
