Take liquimoly for instance, they only have certain oils that meet the VW 508 00 spec but many of their oils are the same weight. None of which will cause your engine to explode if you use them.
I have an 2007 A4 2.0T base. I bought the car with 120k miles on it in 02/19. Yesterday I hit the 224k miles on it. She's my daily driver, over the years I have changed/did the engine oil every 4k miles, car filters all over, wheel alignment, tires, brake pads, rotors, and the battery. Nock on the wood, my baby have been taking car of me. I'm actually surprised that this model is solid af.
Change your oil with Valvoline restore Cummins oil I think I used 10w30. It will help... I had a a4 with 130k miles and I did this 4 times it cut my consumption down to a minimal amount
Ive been using 5w40 for 100k miles and my engine is happy as can be. It actually is noticeably smoother with thicker weight
I use 5w30, liqui moly toptec 4200. It meets VW504 standard and API SP.
If you want something better for your car, maybe you can try Liqui Moly(personal favorite).
Extractor all the way. As for The amount left behind, it is inconsequential if you are maintaining a short oil change interval. I've seen a couple YouTube videos showing maybe 3 or 4 oz left behind.
Valvoline.. niets mis mee, doe het in mn A4 B6 en Golf 4 Gti... Draait er echt niet minder om... Ook van de action.
I just change it every 3k as a maintenance think no one told me to. I'm just afraid of messing up my turbo if I waited to long.
