Hello Sir, I have a question. I watched your video on the ATS 505 engine oil treatment and it got me thinking. My wife has a 2016 Audi A5 w 40k miles on it. It runs great with no issues. She only drives it basically once a week. I change the oil basically once a year as she only puts about 3-5k miles on it a year. I have noticed carbon build up on the tail pipe which leads me to believe its burning oil. I do have to add about half a quart every so often. Should I add some ATS 505 oil treatment before I change the oil next time? I worry about it sitting as much as it does with having that turbo and the fact Audi/ Volkswagon are known to burn oil.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Robert

Is there oil residue on the spark plugs? Do you have to add oil between changes?

I'd think that at 40K miles there should not be much carbon buildup. If it really is burning a noticeable amount of oil you could give the stuff a try in case there is carbon causing the oil rings to stick, but I'd try changing the PCV valve first.

that's a sign of rich mixture. The car needs a diagnostic analysis.

With such frequent oil changes and low miles, I highly doubt it will do anything for you.
Audis can get carbon buildup even at low miles. They don't use fuel injection port and use direct fuel injection which causes the carbon to build up. They have a design flaws for Volkswagen which they own audi. I would give ats-505 a try and see if it fixes it. If not then live with or sell it and get a Toyota. Unfortunately that's how it is.
oil treatment will not help buildup on valves. The fuel system one might help a little.
Ok
