Mine doesn't use any, and it gets an italian tuneup every time I start it. Running Rotella T6 5w40
I noticed that unlike all of the other S52s his engine wasn't ticking. I asked him why he thought that was and he said it was because he uses Liqui-Moly 10w-60.
Loving the oil, just got my analysis back and it looked great!
this oil is fantastic. the car runs PERFECT. it is a bit pricy but i dont really care. i've used it for +60k doing oil changes every 5k miles... as the report shows, the engine is WAY better than perfect.
I have been using liqui moly 5w-40 in my 2009 2.5l for the past 30k miles and i think its the best oil. recently i have discovered their MoS2 anti friction additive and put that in my last oil change. the car runs very smoothly and should last a long time with its strong wear protection. also the car consistently achieves good MPG.
There is few more approved liquimoly, amsoil I personally use 5w30 liqui with oem filter every 5-6k miles
Related test in European car, changed all fluids and spark plugs saw gain in HP.
Those engines do burn oil. Clogged PCV would be the first to eliminate. Go w/a HD 5w-40 like Rotella.
Try the Rotella 10w-30 T5. Thin oil may work better to free things up.
I always run rotella 15w-40 in my mk3 2.0 8v. No complaints and its cheap
