Best Engine oil for Audi A3
5k or less with Liquimoly. Just had oil pan and upper timing cover replaced at 123k miles (plastic parts leak/ fail bc of heat cycles) and my timing chain looked like new, and not one spec of metal or debris on the bottom end. Unitronic stage 1+ since 75k miles.
Pros: timing chain looked new
Cons: plastic parts leak

5-6k. It depends on how much you push the car. Hard acceleration and high revs will require more frequent oil changes.
Pros: 5-6k intervals

my consumption was terrible when running Castrol .... Now it's pretty decent .... Especially for winter time .... Liquimoly is ace.
Pros: pretty decent consumption
Vehicle:
Audi A3
It helped significantly! Went from burning Castrol to liquimoly which burns way less. Also I use a liquimoly sealer now and then to reduce consumption.
Pros: burns way less
Vehicle:
Audi A3
The liquimoly additive, Oil Additiv p# 8352, did help me for a bit but now it's back to the usual oil guzzling. For my choice of engine oil I use 5W-40 Toptec 4100 liquimoly .... I think it reduced consumption somewhat over OEM castrol.
Pros: reduced consumption somewhat
Vehicle:
Audi A3
I usually change the oil every 7500 miles and tend to use Castrol synthetic 0-40.
Pros: Castrol synthetic 0-40

Pros: less need to refill
