Engine oil FUCHS or OEM Audi
Am bagat si eu Fuchs intr-un 3.0tdi si in romania 1L e 60 de lei cam asa dar pe [Ebay.de](http://Ebay.de) e 35 de lei litrul la fel si Aral, ciudat de ieftin. Motorul merge cam cu 10'C mai putin la ulri fata de castrol(se ducea si la 119'C pe autostrada)
Pros: Motorul merge mai putin
Cons: ulei scump in Romania
I tested it myself on my 3.0T, pumped everything out with the extractor, then jacked the car up and pulled the plug, catching evening that drained out in a measuring cup. It had less than 1/4 cup of oil left in the pan.
Pros: extractor removes most oil
Cons: small amount remains
Did this every oil change on my sq5. Made it 180k miles before trading it in. Works very well. That was the easiest oil change I’ve ever done. Of the 15 minutes the job takes, about 4 of those minutes is actually doing something
Pros: easy oil change
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Mileage: 180000 km
Definitely prefer the extractor here! So easy/clean and gets all of the oil. At least in a Q8 and b9 A4/5 it got everything
Pros: easy, clean, gets all
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.
Pros: extractor removes most oil
Cons: leaves some oil
Vehicle:
Audi S5
4.5 L is the Ideal for Mazda 6 2.5 non turbo, I'm from the same country as you. I'm using fuchs titan 5w30 for two years and I recommend you do the same, I noticed quieter engine.
Pros: quieter engine
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Fuchs Titan GT1 5w30.
Vehicle:

I do this on my Q5, I started using like half a quart of cheap new sacrificial oil to mix up the bottom of the pan and extract as much black oil as possible. I almost had an issue with the extractor tube getting stuck in the engine l, but I was able to get it out with a bit of force
Pros: extracts more oil
Cons: tube can get stuck
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
I had the same issue on my 2019 A6 3.0 last year. Two times I had to pop into the dealership to have oil removed (no charge) and the issue was due to dilution and short trips.
Pros: no charge
Cons: oil dilution, short trips
Vehicle:
Audi A6
2015 Audi A3, new to me a year ago. One quart every 400 miles. First car I've ever owned that consumed this much oil. It's a nightmare!
Pros: new to me
Cons: consumes much oil, nightmare
Vehicle:
Audi A3
