choice of fuel where i am i have narrowed to 2
BP 98 - no ethanol, sulphur 50mg/kg (50ppm) - i think is = 93 gas in USA something called NPD100 (?95 gas in USA) with N-methyl aniline - i read that fuel has no / little detergent additives and their octane booster causes high amounts of soot. sulphur 6mg/kg (6ppm) |

I see Mobil1 only recommending 0W40FS for VW. That means that suphur is too high for Low-SAPS oils. |
