Hello Comrade ... interesting video as always. I"ve been changing the engine oil (5W30 LL) on my 2018 MK7.5 Golf R every 6K of "spirited" road miles from new and also additional oil changes after TD / Ring trips. It's @ 20K miles now and so far it's had 4 oil & filter changes. (VW recommend around 15K miles between oil changes) which I personally think it's too far apart. Previously on my 2003 M3 CSL I changed it's 10W60 engine oil & filter every 3K miles but that was extensively used at the Ring & UK TDs and not a daily driver like the Golf R is. BMW recommendation for the E46 M3 / CS & the CSL is 15K road miles as well, which is way too much for the S54 engine IMHO and it's what often causes the catastrophic failure of the S54 bottom end... as well as the Vanos issues. My Golden rule is... change engine oil way more frequently than any OEM recommendation.

Compared to the US, around here in Europe an used oil analysis costs as much as an oil change. Or more (I've been quoted between 60EUR and 200EUR for an UOA). I've got 6 bottles from Blackstone and I will ship some oil over to the US because it's cheaper. Until then I will just drain the oil at 2500-6000kms (depending on how it looks, smells, and how I drove with it) because it seems to be cheaper than just keeping it in the engine 2k kms more and paying for an UOA just to see if I could go any longer with it.

Thanks, was wondering about the M2. I've not run mine on track and having an experienced view on these things like oil and brake pads really helps. I've put braided brake lines and some Pagid RSL29's on it, flushed the brakefluid to RBF660. I'm hoping this will do for my local track (Zolder, lot's of hard braking). I'll be replacing the oil after this first track day next week, according to the bill i've received with the car it has 0W40 in it from a main BMW dealer. I've done the same 'one oil fits all' type of exercise for a fleet of 5000 cars. When I arrived at this job they used 4 different types of oils, I thought this was madness since the mechanics then just used whatever was closest available to their work station, some just used the same oil for every single car. I managed to get it down to 2 types of oil which suite all manufacterers spec (0W20, 5W30, Petronas). So now it's easier for the mechnanics and it saves a lot in storage cost and we got better deals from suppliers so costs went down. Total win win situation.

Use Ester Synthetic, ester oil is superior. The number one reason to use ester oil is bond. Ester oil has an electrochemical bond because the ester molecule is polar, sort of like a fridge magnet. It is attracted to metal and sticks. Normal synthetic oil, PAO, is like plastic in your fridge, it will just fall off once the pressure is released. All commercial jet planes flying use an ester synthetic oil.

Two years prior one of our cars ran the Daytona24 for 14hr to the end with oil temps pegged at 150C when body work was damaged and impeded air cooling. Mobil1 is the finest oil you can use for longevity and endurance. In my street turbo diesel car, I once extended an oil change to 18 months and 57000 km. Currently my car has 460000 km on orignal engine, turbo, clutch.

On my 991.1 3.4, switching to Motul 5w40 from Mobil 1 0w40 quieted the valve train significantly. When warm, the noise can come from the top end of the engine from the two piece lifters, but don't quote me on that. When cold, the 911's top end can make noise since the hydraulic lifters need to fill. Told by multiple shops and dealers that both noises are "normal", but with 5w40 I don't ever hear both. Currently at 70k miles with a few track days, and still don't burn more than 100ml of oil every 7K miles.

I alternate between the two official Ford specs listed for my car. 0W-40 in winter and 5W-50 for summer and track days. You touched on the manufacturer approval for certain brands. There is an example with Mobil One where for a short period they did not agree on the price with BMW on the certification. So from one year to the next all of a sudden it was not good anymore but the oil composition was the same. Certain people kept using it, while others did not. It’s a political game as well in some cases but I agree for peace of mind stay with the API/ SN from the OEM. I also agree that Manthey is one of a kind. They will do their best to help and know their stuff. KW had a design flaw in their 2way Clubsport for the MK3 RS and following my collaboration with the Manthey suspension expert they had KW change the design to prevent the issue I detected on my car. Other dealers would simply replace part for part and tell you to go away until the problem appears again and you come back. If anyone wants to see excellence in cars without being judged for not running half a million under your bum, go to Manthey.

Id say a 10w60 is defenetly more of a summer oil. Ill use 5w50 motul on my track car. Its an old really high reving car tho. So i think that this will be a good decision in that. On the other track car we run a simple 10w40 motul. Also an old car wich is not as high strung nor is it a very expensive engine. Quite a tanky engine that doesnt eat any oil. The most important part on track used cars is the frequent oil change I think. Oil that gets lots of extrem heat cycles wears much more quickly. And thats also very visible and even smellable. It just gets dark more quickly.

I am very interested in the contents of George's toolbox and any specialist pieces of equipment to service the cars . I do my own maintenance on my M3 with a few basic items and that is a very fine tool chest in the background their Misha .!! Many thanks. 👍👍

Johnny Tran Quotes the oils "Weight" in The Fast and The Furious, when interrogating Ted. "What are feeling, Lance... 40 weight? 50 weight?" most likely where many people take the W assumption from.

I can't wait for differ oil video. I run GT86 exclusively on track: changing engine oil after each 4 track days (Millers 5W30), but found out that differ is getting hot. So ended out changing differ oil every second oil change (Millers 75w140). Also put Cusco radiator on differ to cool it down. I wonder what your experiences are with GT86 maintenance in terms of oils, especially differ?

Best run an oil temp sensor and ensuring temp doesn't get too hot. 120c is a good cutoff. There is no oil cooler

changing oils-fluids is most important thing to car run.. got 1.9tdi with 2.3milion km, and run work like new.. probably less HP cos of kilometers, but cos 5-10k km oil change it runs perfect, fires on 1st

He's been a mechanic and a vicious street racer. Sort of Jesse from Fast&Furious, but then British. Also less dumb and more brake calipers on his VW.
