Oil Service Guide-European Vehicles(Updated)

This is an oil service guide with my recommendations for European vehicles. These are my personal recommendations from my experience both in the field with Northwest BG and previous work with European vehicles. This has been updated to reflect the importance of the corrosion protection and fuel stabilization that the CF5 can provide to protect against ethanol issues. 

Quick guide:
6550 is an oil service kit containing one can of MOA(110) and one can of CF5(203).
109 is a pre oil change oil treatment to safely remove and reduce crankcase oil deposits.

Information
            This recommendation guide is based on vehicles being maintained at factory service intervals using fluids meeting factory specifications. This guide also attempts to address the nature of individual motor designs and the varying effect those motors have on oil breakdown and deposit formation. I’d recommend adjusting as necessary to fit the client’s specific needs and vehicle maintenance habits.
