Thanks, Mike claimed 0w-30 was not Factory-Fill, but is all over the place now in CYA mode.

Default Please find the post where I said 0w-30 was never factory fill...

You wont find it. What I said is that it is NOT factory fill. What you have said is that GC 0w-30 is facory fill. Again, you have made the claim that I have stated 0w-30 was NEVER factory fill. Please back that statement up because I am telling you I have never said that.

cheers! Mike

Default See above. Again, please find me any single post that backs up your statement...

that I stated it was NEVER. You know I have had Audis for many years. I have not stated that. I stated GC 0w-30 IS NOT factory fill. And I have stated again and again and again that the current is 5w-40 after sludge and have posted the proof. I can post links to where I have said that all day. Please post your data showing I have said anything about presludge or non current factory fills and please post your data on GC 0w-30 as factory fill. I've asked for it several times and nothing??? cheers! mike

Default Again, can you post any of your data at all? I keep asking the same question and nothing???

Uhh, please post where i "shifted" please post where I stated "in the old days" or "in the past" in my posts. I didnt. You know I didnt which is why you wont acknowledge I never did.

Again, just looking for that info on GC 0w-30 as the factory fill. It's not a bid deal but you ARE the one who made this post so surely you must have data to support it is the factory fill? And can you please answer what german used oil the GC 0w-30 is?

cheers! Mike

Default Pre SLUDGE manual. NOT CURRENT factory fill...

When you claim GC 0W-30 IS THE FACTORY FILL it states it IS the factory fill. I stated it isnt. You know that. You know I never commented on past pre sludge oils.

You state GC 0w-30 is the only one that meets spec. I assume you have data for that or is that just blather? I'm familar with GC 0w-30 What oil USED IN GERMANY are you claiming is GC 0w-30 that is used?

cheers! MIke

Default You contradicted me and said German Castrol 0w-30 was not Factory-Fill a hundered times, like here-

Me: 0w-30 is Factory-Fill as indicated in my 2002 A4 manual.

You: "Find that manual post a pic of it. It does not state that in the B6 A4 1.8t manual. It states 5w-40 is the recommended viscosity and only when that cannot be found it is ok to substitute with 5w-30 or 0w-40. In fact, it says 0w-30 is NOT an approved viscosity. (no, it does not! can you read, Mike?) It states only 5w-30, 5w-40, and 0w-40 are approved viscosities"

"I have not seen any manuals that require VW 502 that states 0w-30 is factory fill"


Now, if you KNEW your ****, you would not be arguing with me as 4 members have TOLD you their manual states "0w-30" and the ONLY 0w-30 meeting VW specs (and Porsche-approved) is GERMAN CASTROL. Get it yet?<ul><li><a href="http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=51;t=001091">http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=51;t=001091</a</li></ul>

Default Your are correct that 0w-30 WAS factory fill. My apologies for not making it clear...

that we are talking about the present time. And again, you stated GC 0w-30 is the factory fill and I am still sincererly trying to figure out what german sold oil this is you are talking about as being GC 0w-30 as we know it sold in the US but made in Germany? Of course this is a seperate issuea as clearly you now know 0w-30 much less GC 0w-30 is not a current factory fill, but can you be a sport and tell me what oil in germany is the factory fill (assuming it is as you state the US oil that is GC 0w-30). cheers! Mike
