By the way, for anyone wanting a little more protection, Valvoline's new Snypower formula is now on the shelves at wal-mart. About 25$ for 5 quarts. It's GM Dexos 1 Gen 2 certified and also meets the ILSAC-5 as well as Ford WSS-M2C946-A specification for motor oils.
I mention that over AMSOIL because it's commonly available and meets some of the most stringent oil specifications, it's even certified for GM 4718M which is required for their Corvetts, Cadillac ATS's etc.
It's a "no cost" upgrade in the sense that you have to change your oil, mine as well switch over at the next change to oils tested specifically to limit or eliminate LPSI as far as the oil's influences are concerned, especially if your tuned.

I think Pennzoil, Quaker State and Mobil 1 are all working on getting theirs to the markets soon as well, they all have synthetics listed on the Gen 2 certified list, however most of them aren't on the shelves in actual stores yet. Valvoline seems to be one of the first, so that's why I mention them. Any synthetic mentioned is good enough if changed regularly, so use what you like, but the Gen 2 cert is a really big plus for TDI applications.
