    Aces and BND oil teardown of 140k mile engine

    Papadocs driveline has been removed and the engine is being inspected before install into the S6 donor.

    Inside the engine is perfect and the master tech said the cylinder head ports and valves look brand new.

    Papadoc used Aces for years and bnd oils.

    The tech wants the BND information asap.


    Lol

    I found my engines cylinders in perfect condition also, at 140,000 miles. I used the Audi oil all they way through the car's life. I don't think it just the oil, its great materials in the engine block, frequent oil changes, etc.

    I noticed that I turned this milestone the other day, I love the car and she's been very good to me. Shortly after I purchased it, I found a bottle of BND ACES in the trunk compartment next to the air compressor, along with a bottle of the OEM Audi spec oil. This one is running super well hey must be the ACES~!

    Well, it is nice to know that Brian and his goods have been proven to be beneficial to our engines. Dave, you were if I recall the first to suggest BND, so props to you. Still using it now in RS6 #2. And to think that there were a lot of naysayers calling this snake oil...

    BCY is well designed for sure and proper servicing does help with any oil used.

    The Audi master tech called me as soon as he inspected internals. What was being used in this engine it looks new inside. Lol

    He has seen his share of Audi engines.

    I was sold on Aces the first time i used it. Then a year later my Quantum Blue Blackstone report sealed the deal. Oil was perfect after 10000 miles of hard running. Blackstone called the report perfect

    Brian is now getting recognized in some of the FSI platforms for his oils. His vapor point is so much better that carbon is not developing in the more carbon prone engines. I only said it 5 years ago. Lol

    I never get to 10k in a year so I just end up changing around 18 months.

    You can change at any time now.

    So this stuff is an octane booster? Is it needed on a stock engine?

    Well, maybe you care to enlighten us? The only thing I found Audi related was a thread on Audizine 4 years ago about it that left off with no conclusion whether it was beneficial or snake oil.

    No enlightening necessary...This is a thread, started by a reputable member here, about BND's oil additive, and proof that it works......not sure where octane booster came from...

    Did you miss the part about Aces IV, fuel additive, octane booster?

    I'd say it probably won't hurt, but how much it helps to "clean" the engine, can't say.

    Running stock tune, probably no reason to add octane booster. Running a stronger tune, it did help me some a bit when I was using it. I stopped using it once I added the water meth kit, along with finding better fuel sources.

    Never heard of the stuff before this thread and thought you have to pay $8-$10 a gallon for race gas. 40 cents a gallon to raise 93 octane to 102 octane effect sounds too good to be true. But what is that "effect" in their description supposed to mean? I bought a car (not Audi) that had a turbo kit installed and the previous owner damaged one piston because of detonation, so after putting it back together, I'm leary of getting on it using pump gas. Sounds like an ideal solution if it works as claimed.

    Yea, I'd say it only raises Octane by 2-4 points, guessing. I did a bit of data logging after running it, and my car ran a bit better, cooler, seemed to hold a bit more timing. The fact it should clean things is another plus, just not sure it's really needed.

    Just run a little bit of Torco if you need it.
