I don't get why 10w-30 isn't allowable. Is it the tight tolerances? The low NOACK would help the turbo cool off and even the intercooler since that is cooled by the engine oil.Just to clarify, the manual recommends 0w20, 0w30 or 5w30 for Australian 1.5Ts. I have some Amsoil Signature-Series 0w30 lined up for my first oil change.
This looks amazing! How much would this type oil analysis be? I would like to know the condition of my oil as well.Please stop making oil threads with cut/paste things from other sites. Please use real data, like an oil change analysis, so we can not have all the misinformation and BS floating around. Unless you have ACTUAL proof that a certain oil is better, please don't recommend an oil.
Here is my factory oil with 10,000 miles on it. Maintenance Minder said my oil had 15% oil left left.

Currently running AMSOIL SS 0w-20 with Honda Filter. I'm going to run this to 10,000 as well so I can have an apples to apples comparison, but after this I will be changing every 6k (possibly 8k depending on what next report looks like).
Oil Analyzers is around $35 to have a sample tested. There is also Blackstone and Polaris Labs that do sample testing too. I've only used Oil Analyzers.This looks amazing! How much would this type oil analysis be? I would like to know the condition of my oil as well.
