Many times the dealer will overfill the oil. Go check your dipstick right now and see if it is in the appropriate range. If it is on the lower end of acceptable you could prolly add the ceretec now. However, if is overfilled take it back to the dealer and demand that they drain some out carefully. They should do this at no charge. Although they might be surprised as many folks don't even check the dipstick anymore and may try to blow you off. I have even experienced a dealer put twice as much oil as needed in a car!!! Trust me they really are not paying very good attention to things like oil changes... Many times the dealer will overfill the oil.

I depends on the what the oil level shows as. On my 1999 BMW 328ic I needed to remove oil before adding, but it was over the level anyway.

You do not. It's added to your oil. Cera Tec will help when the cold days start and your engine has been sitting for a while. Certainly easier starting.Good luck!

the cera tec replaces 300mL of oil (600mL in your case) so that much oil should be drained prior to adding the product.

No, especially if the oil has recently been changed. I used it several months ago. I did notice the engine running smoother and pick up more pronounced. It also helped my engine burn less oil. Mind you, I have a 91 Acura Integra bought new and now has 425K on it! I will soon put her out to pasture. I am awaiting a 2015 Audi S4! ;-)

It depends where is your min/max level, if it is topped I would recommend extracting a little bit, remember that gaskets leak if you exceed the max level

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars. I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

hey dave, i added one 32 oz bottle on my last oil change, i will be adding another on my next oil change. this is what is recommended if the first does not completely stop the leaks. my first treatment has helped alot, reducing the leaks to just a small amount. i am hopeful the 2nd treatment will stop it completely. to your question, use one qt of lucas to 4 qts of oil. hope this is helpful and hope it works for you.

I just bought this 00272-1LLAC-01 full strength formula for my '07 FJ Crusier. I think it's a better deal than buying the premixed formula. Just mix 50/50 with distilled water.

Good morning! You will indeed need to add water. Volkswagen recommends a 50/50 split. I hope that helps! Thanks for your question!!

I'm not an expert, but I would say you could easily go 5,000 miles minimum. Something else you can do, have an oil analysis done after that 5k miles. Swing over to Blackstone Labs' website, send off an oil sample and they will email you a detailed report on how the oil held up and whether you can run it longer or should change it more often. The reports may also indicate other things too, such as metal content in the oil (inadequate lubrication) or if there is coolant or fuel mixed in the oil. The cost is extremely reasonable.

The neck of the bottle has markings on it. You only have to squeeze the bottle until the neck fills to the one gallon line. Then pour that into a gallon of gas. My trimmer recommends using 91 octane. Very easy and near fool proof.

you will need to mix oil and gas. this is a 2 cycle engine. I mix mine one tank at a time with a measuring cup and a medicine syringe that has CC markings and can be purchased at a drug store. this way your fuel is always fresh. you don't want to mix oil and gas and let it sit as it braeks down over time.

It adheres to the surface of all moving parts but will wear away over time/use. I believe the claim of "up to 30K miles", but more frequently is probably better in the long run. Using a full can per oil change may be overkill due to the cost/can. I do like the idea of adding "some" with each oil change and I've noticed a few of the synthetic brands actually have MOS2 in them, so that might make a difference in how much you add. The harder thing to decide is the optimal amount for your car.

Have VW 2.0T. Used Castrol 5-40 Edge since new. 110,000 miles. No problem. Probably what Audi calls for. If not sure, call Audi Customer Care 800 number to check.

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

This engine takes 28 OZ (ounces) you will have 4 oz left out of a full quart bottle. I use 10w-30 Maxlife or any other high quality oil. I hope yours works better than mine did.

We used in with Mobil 1 10W-40 High mileage because it was a Ceratec test shop project using a Polaris 325 blown engine due to have been ran dry of motor oil due to an oil cooler hose blowing. The crank was chewed up and the connecting rod was shot due to the rod bearing inserts spinning. After 11 hours of idle time with Ceratec it was still running but a knock had returned. We had pulled the rod cap from the top side so as to not have to crack the crankcase. It rotated about 1,000,000 times with a back crank and new standard size rod bearings with a used connecting rod. On tear down it had coated the top end with a glass like finish. I know from doing the engine tear down it works. They state to add it to the oil change every 30K miles / 50K kilometers.

Hi,I changed to same car as you. It runs perfect. I dont know exactly how many, but I guess 5-6 bottles. On youtube is perfect video how to change it. Till this days run great.

I would like to make a suggestion. If you really want to clean out your engine and make it run and last longer, use this, /Cerma-Gas or Diesel-Ceramic-Engine-Treatment. It will cut through every bit of crud in your engine and completely coat the metal surface with ceramic coating. Cerma really works and results will blow your mind. It is not cheap, but well worth it. It can be found here on Amazon and on Ebay. It has made my car with 240,000 miles run better than new and it is a one time treatment. PTK

I have an Impreza 2010 and Outback 2006 and I used this Oil. You have to need a little hand pump for rear. For rear diff, you have to release the fill plug before the other plug just to make sure you can add oil before drop it. Make sure you used the correct tool TORX T70 for the front and insert this one correctly in the pan plug for front. Start with the rear and put 0,8 liter then make the front with 1,2 liter.

I was wondering if it used gas/oil mix, so I looked up the users manual on google. It clearly states; fill the crancase with oil and use only regular grade gas, not to exceed 87 octane
