I switched to Mobil 1 0w40 european formula in hopes of better protection and less consumption. I have 51500 kms right now. I will check mine every 1500km this next oil change.
Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 should be able to go longer-- but you need to get a Used Oil Analysis done, in order to determine if you can.
Kendall hands down makes the best dinosaur oil..... I run it in my BMW 2002 and my 94 2.0 ....
Personally I would run a higher detergent 40 weight oil such as Rotella synthetic 5W40 than a "high mileage" oil.
I use that stuff on a daily basis, I get boxes and boxes of total oil, its great stuff, I'm using it in my ABA as well
I have been running this oil for the past 2 oil changes and its all good! Excellent product since it has been around for ages and it is euro After i drained my oil at 7500k's (4660miles) you could still see through the oil....any other synthetic i have had you could not do that.
Speaking only for the 2.0T in our B7 A4...it burned nearly 1qt of Castrol Syntec 5w40 during a 5k interval. Before and after that interval I ran M1 0w40 for 5k, and it burned next to zero. Needless to say I'll continue to use the M1.
I have been running redline 5W40 since 5k miles in my 08 GTI and I noticed an immediate improvement in turbo spool up. Others have noticed this improvement on other turbo cars as well.
i have run 300v in my engine since 2005 when it was first built no seal issues
I run Motul in both my 8 valves, 5w40 year round, it's awesome stuff.
