Newer diesel engines (Euro 5/6) use very thin low-viscosity oils, which can result in insufficient working pressure at low revs or extended idling — especially at the turbocharger. At RedHat Garage in Sugiez we analyse oil pressure and apply targeted additives to raise working pressure and protect the turbo and engine from premature wear. A simple preventive measure that can save you a costly turbo replacement.

Yes, our service is specifically designed for newer Euro 5 and 6 diesel engines, such as the one in your Audi. These engines use very low-viscosity oils, which can cause the turbocharger's operating pressure to drop to critical levels at low RPMs. Through analysis and the targeted use of additives, we ensure stable oil pressure, protecting the engine and turbo from premature wear. This is an important preventative measure.
The cost for the analysis and optimisation of the oil pressure depends on the specific vehicle model and the work required. You will always receive a detailed, written cost estimate from us before we begin any work. To prepare this for you, we need your vehicle's details. This ensures there are no unexpected costs, giving you full control over the service order.
The easiest way to arrange an appointment is in writing via WhatsApp or the 'Request an Appointment' form on our website. Please send us a photo of your vehicle registration document or the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the current mileage. We will then get in touch with a proposed appointment, usually within a few working days. For urgent cases, please make a note of this in your request.
For efficiency reasons, modern Euro 5 and 6 diesel engines use oils with very low viscosity. At low RPMs or during extended idling, this can lead to insufficient operating pressure, which is particularly harmful to the turbocharger. Our service is a preventative measure designed to stabilise the oil pressure and avert expensive consequential damage, such as turbo failure.
The service includes a thorough analysis of your vehicle's existing oil pressure. Based on the results, we use specific additives in a targeted manner to raise the operating pressure to an optimal level. The main goal of this measure is to provide enhanced protection for the engine, and especially the turbocharger, against premature wear caused by insufficient lubrication at low engine speeds.
Whether an adjustment is relevant for the MFK depends on the vehicle and the exact procedure. We use special additives to optimise the oil pressure within safe parameters, which generally does not cause any issues. Before starting the work, we assess the specific situation for your vehicle and document all relevant points in the written cost estimate, providing you with full transparency.
