Hi All,
I have a 2006 BMK 3.0tdi, 70,000 miles. Owned it for 12 months and have done 2 x oil/filter changes and it's done 8,000 miles in that time. I did an oil change about 2,000 miles ago and i used the Valvoline SYN Power XL-111 which is 507.0 Audi approved. What i did notice is more noise on startup.
Anyway, today i checked the oil and it is grey in colour and it appears very watery ie: it doesn't cling to your fingers like normal and the oil is very thin. I checked the oil level and it's fine, i undone the oil filter (didn't completely remove it) just enough to check the oil on it. Now i started the car and it has an oil pressure warning message on the dash.
PS: Coolant colour is fine and i can sit for 1 hour in 40c heat idling and the temp is 90 rock solid an doesn't move.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
