Brett,
Maybe I should change my oil now, but I have experienced better running
of both my old 5ktq and my 200q20v by putting a concentrated dose of
Techron (the commercial stuff bought from Pep Boys) into the gas.
I was experiencing some hesitation upon full throttle acceleration with
the Lehmann chip and 2.5 bar PT, but after running two bottles of
Techron into a half tank of 93 octane gas, the car runs much smoother.
Of course, now that I've said that, I have to placate the Audi Gods by
sacrificing some virgins and assorted animals. Just kidding. :-)
I also had leaky injectors in my 5ktq (unknown mileage on the injectors,
could have been a full 175k) which I was able to cure temporarily by
putting a full bottle of Techron into 1/4 tank of gas and running it
hard at WOT for about 20 minutes on the highway (full throttle, slow down,
full throttle, slow down, etc.). Guy in the Volvo behind me thought I was
crazy.
While this is not recommended, this has been my experience.
What is the downside of not changing your oil immediately after this kind
of treatment? I just put in some fresh Mobil 1 15W50 less than 1k miles ago.
I gotta come up and see your car sometime- I'm up in N. Jersey quite a bit,
so if you're in Westchester, it's not too far.
Taka
