RED LINE › Engine oil

BsickPassat 24 Apr 2018, 14:58

Rating 4.0

I had Blackstone do a Virgin Oil Analysis of Red Line 5w30 This sample of Red Line 5W/30 looks good in testing. The viscosity is just a little above our \"should-be\" range for unused 5W/30, but that's common to see with some brands, and it doesn't show any sort of problem or deficiency with this oil. The additive package is typical of Red Line. They use a lot of molybdenum anti-wear additive. There's also some silicon, which is good to know about since silicon can also show dirt in used oil samples. It's an anti-foaming additive. No moisture or solids were found. This oil is in serviceable condition.

Pros: good in testing, anti-wear additive

Cons: viscosity slightly above range

K&N › Cabin filter

Rating 4.0

Since I was in the area, and needed to swap out the cabin air filter, I opted for one from K&N. I have upgraded to the B5.5 filter housing so that is why this should work. There is a slight length difference but it does fit.

Pros: it does fit

Cons: slight length difference

Bottoming:

Bilstein B6 is for stock springs. The B8's were noticeably firmer than the B4 (sport, which was available for my Passat, due to the available sport package on the car).

Pros: firmer than B4

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 150000 km

If they are the same sizes as the B6 Passat, you can get Bosch Aerotwin set for a decent price off of Amazon.

Pros: decent price

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

Noise:

Riding on Pirellis Cinturatos P7 now. IMO best tire for the Passat. The hankooks had no grip even in very light snow. Rain driving was scary, loud on highway. I couldn't risk driving my family with them.

Pros: best tire for Passat

Cons: no grip, rain scary

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 7000 km
