Check out this TSB from Scamsoil!
Sounds like they have gotten into deep poo-poo claiming their NON-API certified oils can run for 25K miles! Notice with these "sludge prone" vehicles, they are recommending to use their ONLY API certified oil for gasoline engines (XL), and they are saying to stay with the vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals!!

Check out these oils that meet VW & Audi's oil requirements. There are no Scamsoil products listed, but Mobil 1 is there!!

I also contacted Blackstone Labs, and they confirmed that an UOA would not detect an oil sludging problem!
I'm sure Jeff (Beachbumcook) will add his $0.02!
