Extending the life cycle of my Q7 TDI Diesel

I grew up on a Midwestern farm operating, maintaining and overhauling farming equipment, including Cummins and GM diesel engines. One thing I learned was the main enemies of diesel engines are dirt and internal friction. I purchased a used 2014 Audi Q7 TDI from a single owner that had proof all required maintenance had been done. Thanks FCP Euro for your in-depth research on how to Liqui Moly products to maximize the performance and life-cycle of my Q7 TDI 3.0L diesel engine. I also purchased the Liqui Molly Step 1 Kit additives to reduce internal operating friction and improve shear strength of the oil . The kit also includes a comprehensive set of additives to purge / clean injectors and treat my fuel over the next 25,000 miles to boost cetane levels to that required to optimize performance. I'm now preparing for my next oil change and bought the Liqui Moly Step 2 Kit that continues to reduce internal operating friction and maintain enhanced cetane levels. For anyone wondering if the added expense of the Liqui Moly treatment, I can only relay what I have experienced so far. I have noticed that my mileage as improved from 21-25 mph to 25 to 32 mph. More recently is the noticeable improved acceleration. The important thing is reduced wear on the engine, which I have no way of knowing. However, the enhanced performance give me the peace of mind knowing that a little over $200 of cost is worth it if it can extend the life-cycle of the engine. So far my experience with FCP Euro has built a trust that the say what the mean and mean what the say. All indications are that they in-fact did the research and recommended the Liqui Moly products in good faith. For me the proof is in the performance and I anticipate the extended life-cycle of my TDI Diesel. My plan for the Q7 is also to change oil and filters at 5,000 mile intervals vice the recommended 10,000. I have also reduced all other lubrication and fluid change intervals because I have learned it is cheap insurance that works to dramatically reduce required corrective maintenance. Again thanks to FCP Euro for their knowledge and support, reasonable prices, and commitment to life-time parts warranty. God Bless you all.
