    How many times do I have to tell you????




    You CANT mix normal oil with SYNTHETIC oil.
    You didn't use the green font. You'll pay the price for that.


    This looks like there was some clam juice mixed in as well.

    How come you can't mix? The auto departments sell it as a blend.

    Not just Audis, I've seen Chevys, Chryslers and Fords do the same thing. The one thing they ALL had in common was cheap oil with a high ash content and a low cost additive package. The kind of stuff that many fast lube places use.

    Nope. It's well established. You can't do it.

    If you do it by accident, your only hope is to try to clean it with WD40.
    The secret ingredient in WD40 is fish oil. And it cuts through the goop.

    Only happens to engines from manufacturers not involved in NASCAR...

    Looks like an engine with 80,000 mile having regular oil changes at 3000 mile intervals using Valvoline or Quaker State..

    ,,,,,,,,,,have you any empirical evidence of that, especially since the WD-40 website emphatically denies any fish oil,,,,,,,,


    I stand by my statements.
    I've read each of these facts many times on GBGD.

    Obviously this is unique to Audis.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Or Quaker State. Pennsylvania crude is paraffin base, as mentioned. That is paraffin buildup.

    Until it plugs an oil galley, it actually lubricates very well.

    I know it still happens, and when I was a kid dumping diesel fuel in the oil run the engine ,,,drain repeat several times as needed to dissolve the build up .

    Had that happen almost that bad in a couple of Ford engines when Esso Uniflo motor oil was used. Was not changed on a regular basis but was not neglected either. Used the same oil in General Motors engines under the same circumstances with good results. Who knows why.[B)]

    Bad thermostat not allowing the engine to reach full temp would cause that problem in older engines.I don't know on the computer controlled newer vehicles.
