Sodium is an additive in many oils. If your potassium is also elevated, that is cause for concern.
I only have a rudimentary understanding of all this, so I don’t know what would be considered normal for the specific oil you are using. It wouldn’t be a terrible idea to send off a sample of the...
I can vouch that they won’t. And while I’m very rarely an active participant, I still love watching what y’all do with these trucks, and the new guys coming in with new projects. By the time I get another, might have a better idea what I’m doing!

I bet someone will chime in with details why...
I can’t help on what to look for, but depending on price, the buyback cars are back out there and come with a warranty. I doubt most of us on here need a warranty, but it’s still nice to have. I’ve heard Passats are still out there to be had direct from VW
