Testing out some new oil
So, I just fixed my oil pressure problem that I posted about earlier.I got a BG Flush and changed over to Royal Purple HPS 5W30. Not a single issue so far and no oil pressure light!
Here is the link:
Automotive - Royal Purple
Now I know everyone here is going to yell at me for not putting VW/AUDI approved oil into my car, but honestly I've heard amazing things about the zinc additives they put in oil. Not only that but a professional driver also had a SLIGHT influence on me after he showed me his 500 hp B5 A4 and said he swears by this stuff.
What do you guys think? I've heard fairly good reviews and I will keep everyone posted on how it does, but my oil pressure light is no more and idle is smoother and throttle response has improved along with pull.

There I added a little trademark symbol to the end of Mobil 1 lol. Sorry for the confusion.
CCA4 : Yeah I liked the Mobil 1 also. And when I got the oil pressure light come on my heart sank, but I have no sign of oil sludge he said, so I'll be fine. Dodged a bullet. Lucky I may have gotten one of the very few 1.8T previous owners that ignored the Audi OCI suggestion...PHEW.
