Are there really no full synthetic vw508 oils?

[tigeo]

I run 5w-40 in my 2019 and get hate mail from strangers telling me that VW engineers are smarter than I am.

I get that, but my car wasn't designed to be tracked, so those smart engineers designed it and it's oil requirements for a daily driven 228hp sporty econobox.

Whatever, I just ignore people and my car runs just fine.

You mean b/c VW specs VW508.00/0W20 and you don't run it?

 

[tigeo]

ahahahaha....so THIS. It's like saying anything other than Rotella T6 over on NASIOC

Good lord the Rotella T6 people....HAHAAHAHAH

I run 5w-40 in my 2019 and get hate mail from strangers telling me that VW engineers are smarter than I am and that the dealer will know it's not 0w-20 because the green dye. Sorry, first oil change was 5000 miles and it looked just like every other used oil.

100 % agree with you. Just one question though why do you give your address out to strangers so they can send you hate mail.

I've "voided" my warranty within weeks of owning almost every single new car I've bought. Warranties are for losers.

 

[dequardo]

Yeah if you toss the protection of a 6y72k warranty no reason not to run any oil you want.
