I switched to 5w-30 instead of the factory spec 0w-20 and that slowed down my consumption. I use Amsoil to maximize protection with use of the "wrong" oil weight and I monitor wear with oil analysis and seem to have no change in wear from my 0w-20 use.
i use AMSOIL 0-20 in my Vezel. Runs great, maybe slightly better them LM.
I used Amsoil Signature when I was driving 1300 miles a week just so I could go two months between oil changes.
Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.
I change oil once per year, using a high-quality synthetic that meets specification 504. I generally drive 8 to 9 thousand miles per year. The maker of the oil I use (Amsoil) says to follow the car maker's change interval.
For me at least, I use a 5w-30 Amsoil on my TLX Type S.
You can use Amsoil just fine, one of the best oils on the market.
I\u2019ve been running Amsoil signature 0w-20 in my FL5 for about 5k miles now. No track driving, just a mixture of city/highway. Some spirited pulls and rowing through the gears but mostly normal driving. Car is stock aside from PRL intake and custom tune. Had Blackstone do an oil analysis after the first 3k miles and all was well and below the average for all wear metals. I\u2019m in Florida so pretty hot climate overall. Very happy with the oil and will continue to use it at that viscosity
Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
