Remember that, if you choose to run your engine on 500ppm, you need more frequent service intervals. The sulphur will increase the oil's viscosity and hence advance the snot formation in the motor.

500ppm's effect on your DPF and EGR is another issue altogether. 500ppm is bad for them. That is all. :rollsmile:

Correctamo!! Sulphur breaks down the oil.

50ppm is better than 500ppm. If you run 50ppm and normal oil change interval you are winning!!

Lots of you guys are rooting for the 50ppm, fair enough.....

But after many of us have tested, 500ppm comes out tops......

Decat and egr disabled, oil change every 8-10000kms (I change the the oil and all filters on every service).

The only thing suffering is the environment

So how did you test?

Just thinking out loud that the service interval before 50ppm was 5000km. That is not because of cat converters iether that was due to oil degradation. 50ppm meant the interval could be stretched to 10,000. So if you run 500ppm and you should be doing <8000km service interval?

I need to verify but I doubt my old 320d was serviced every 5000km while on Motorplan & is obviously condition based servicing as per the stealers.

Back in 2001 there was no option so I filled what the trucks filled.

I wonder if thats not why I heard alot of 2001 e46 s turbos failing because of oil degradation when using 500ppm when they first came out
