Oil sludge letter from AOA
 

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47832/audiapprovedoils.jpg"></center><p>I just received a letter from AOA.
They acknowledge oil sludge problem and extend engine warranty related to oil sludge to 8 years.
They have included a list of approved oil that meet VW 502.00 standard.
All listed are SYNTHETIC.
My dealer is using petroleum based oil in my 1.8T...

got that today as well

Re: Oil sludge letter from AOA
 

Can you post the letter? Thanks.

YEAH!! Kendall GT-1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, yeah, baby! Kendall GT-1 makes the list. But...
 

...the list is alphabetically sorted and not by quality. Anything about using larger oil filters?

Kenall is King!

well, the only sh*tty thing about that...after your 50K, what if you do your own oil changes?
 

what documentation will you have to prove service of the vehicle

Receipts for oils and filters. Plus an excuse to do UOA!

what happened to 503.1???
 

I thought that was supposed to be used in Turbo engines.
